I've set the majority of all valve lash when the engine is cold on an engine with solid lifers.
I have set of clips that you can put on the rockers to keep the oil from splashing all over
with engine running. The V8's are bad for this.
Years ago some engines like the flat head Ford's didn't have any adjusters and you had to grind the valve stems to obtain enough clearance and this was done on a cold engine. This took some
time when doing a valve job. Engines with hydraulic lifters I set them cold too with the engine idiling. Some didn't have any adjustment
you just tightened the rocker arms and that was it. With solid lifers you beed to set them
about .003" over what the hot setting is. Hal
PS: Ever has a miss hard to find check valve clearance.
