There's your problem. You should've been eating a Moon Pie along
with the Dr. Pepper.
As someone else already pointed out, setting the valves is like
revenge, a dish best done or serverd cold. Unless of course you have
a warm spec or a non-stock cam, but the .010" spec normally applies
to a cold stock engine.
Seein' as how your email address sez v6spitfireguy, would you have a
V6 in your Spitfire?
