I sometimes see mention made of setting valves when hot.  I'm curious about
why this might be preferable to setting them cold.  And what is the differance
between measurements........that is...............how much would metal expand
or contract when hot or cold.  Or how would my valve lash of ..013
cold......compare to valve lash of .016 hot?

just wondering
