Axial_Flow Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 My 1925 - 1928.5 service manual for Big & Special Six has hot clearance of 0.006". I suspect that would work for your 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Maybe I lucked out I set mine about .8 cold. I was just quessing after looking at all other car sites. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwing-8 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 This may be comparing apples and oranges, but my 1936 Studebaker manual says ".016" COLD for all '36 models, both intake and exhaust. At ".008" COLD, are you running a risk of burning exhaust valves? Just wondering...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
