dbtravis Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi!I'm adjusting valves on a 1924 DB and they've been replaced with Stainless Steel Valves. Does anyone know the correct hot or cold gap for the intake and exhaust with the stainless valves? I assume it might be different that the standard steel valves, but just thought I would double check first! Thanks! - Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Travis, I would set them at the standard settings. The Model A groups have been using S.S. valves for years, myself included, and they're set to factory spec's. Similar engine as the Dodge too.

MikeC5 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The coefficient of thermal expansion isn't much different between 'regular' and typical stainless steel. 304 Stainless is maybe 30% greater so if they are of this alloy, you may want to open up the clearances a wee bit.
