I’m going to say that if you set them to say, .020”...... and I checked them..... I would say they were .002”-.004” looser than that.

I’m just looking for repeatability, more so than being absolutely exact on what the actual lash measurement is.
I like it where you basically can’t get the next larger blade in.

If it want to try a looser setting, I use a thicker blade.

I’m def not saying my way is better, but after 30 years of playing with that stuff on the dyno, that’s what my system has evolved into.

With the info you posted Dwayne, i am going to take the time to go over my methods on this. I want to be on the tight side of the recomended settings, which are .019 and. 920 hot. So minus .002 for tighter, and minus .006 for cold settings, that gives me .011 and .012 cold. I was setting them .015 cold before.
