The Commander Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi GuysThe settings on the Big and Special Six engines is .006 to .009. Since it is very hard to adjust them when the engine is hot ... I always adjust all my valves cold. I set them at a loose .007 and a very tight .008. The Commander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
