The standard valve clearance for 400 - 403(A engine) is .002 inch cold Inlet & Exhaust late 403(AB2 engine) - 406 is .005 inch cold " " But very few engines now have standard factory cams . Most have either been re ground to another specification or the cam replaced and the clearance of these could be different from original standard cam . Do you know the valve timing of the engine . Inlet opening & closing , Exhaust opening and closing to try to identify which cam is fitted. Geoff |
