Okay, I realize that valves are usually set "hot", on most tractors, because there is a difference in the clearance of hot and cold valves.... but my question is, for an initial setting, should you set the valves a thousandth or so less, or more, to compensate for the dimension change? I know heat expands metal, and it would seem that the "hot" clearance would be less than the cold clearance, making me think if it said, say, .015 hot, I should set it at say, .016 or .017 cold.... is my logic right?
