Frankiee,

I read that book many years ago ,and it is a reprint
of much older info. I have an engine rebuild
shop and have been doing truck , tractor , and
industrial engines for more than 30 years . Also
do some automotive engines.
If you want an accurate valve setting do it with
the engine stopped, if you want a flatrate job
do it running . 3/4 of the engines I work on, come
in without the vehicle or tractor or the frame
that they normally run in and are expected to be
ready to start and run when they leave. Some of
which we test run in a stand for at least an hour.

And for allen ,
Many of the ind engines have marks on one of
3 places( accessory drive , damper, or flywheel )
that are for setting the valves . If you are good enough
to see that mark and feel the clearance at that
point and no other , you are a genious .

A few solid lifter engines that set stopped --
cat, cummins,detroit,mack .
