Jim, I had my engine rebuilt in 1999 with hardened valves seats and =
stellite exhaust valves. When installed, the engine ran just fine. I =
never bothered to check or adjust the valve clearances. In 2001, I =
ended up with a burned exhaust valve. Since then, I have =
checked/adjusted the clearances once a year and no further valve =
problems.
Is that an "old wives tale", or did I have a bad valve out of the box?=20

You are correct that the valve train components change very, very =
little. Expansion of components causing valves to not close is an old =
wives tale that gets repeated many times until shade tree mechanics turn =

This is another subject that I often wonder about.=20
If the valve clearance is there to ensure that the valves are fully =
closed when the engine is hot then why, when I check the clearances on a =
hot engine after a dyno run, are they hardly any less than they were =
cold?
I can appreciate that the valve train components grow because of the =
heat but surely the block and head and rocker shaft pedistals also grow =
and thus there is little if any net change.
I also appreciate that the exhaust valve stem get really hot but ????
Just wondering....

In my own experience I installed an Isky cam with a grind a little more =

Follow the cam grinder's recommendations and you will avoid trouble.

The car is a MkII BT7.
The BMC manual says adjust the clearances, cold, to 0.012=E2=80=9D.
Denis Welch said I should go 0.015=E2=80=9D, cold, after fitting their =
=E2=80=9CFast Road=E2=80=9D cam.
The rolling road guy said 0.016=E2=80=9D, warm.
=20
I have the radiator out right now so I can get a nice socket onto that =
nut and have a go at the clearances.
Stick with 0.015=E2=80=9D, cold?

Thanks,
Simon
