I recently finished rebuilding my 1942 Farmall H. Complete new engine, no expense spared (read: pretty expensive). Set the valve lash at .020" cold when I put it together - better loose than tight was in my mind when I did it too. Saw that I had 5 hours on it the other day so I took it out in the trees with the disk and pulled it so it got nice and hot so I could reset the valves while they were hot, as recommended in the owner's manual. -- I had a couple other things to do while the hood was off also. Anyways, 3 of the valves were tight, really tight - actually they were being held open far enough to leak while I turned it over with the hand crank. The rest were a little tight and some a little loose. Just thought I would share, hate to have someone get a burned valve on a fresh overhaul like I would have if I wouldn't have reset the valves. I plan on checking them every 100 hours or so, it only takes 1/2 hour to do it. Steven
