I am in the process of checking the valve clearance on my narrow deck 360. I removed the hydraulic lifters and cleaned out all the oil before checking the clearance. All of them were found to be in tolerance, however, one was at .03, still in the tolerance range of .028-.08 but close to being out of limits. This was done with the engine cold. A friend of mine prefers the clearance to be on the other end of the scale, especially with the exhaust valves. What say you, leave it alone or try some shorter pushrods to gain a little clearance? I have ran the engine for 285 hours with the current clearance.
