Continuing on with a thred that disappeared somewhere...
OK, Teggers was pointing out that valve lash should be adjusted when cold. This has how I have undertaken it on several motorcycles as getting it to temp with the cams out, tank off etc to get at the shims is impossible (though insert advances in "special tools here).
The 4AC needs an inspection (one of those I've been putting off things) and am quite happy to adjust when cold. Will the earth and the moon require the interaction of McGyver to untangle the evil that may be unleashed if I do it this way?
If not, why is it that all the Australian Spec manuals have "get car to operating temp, ten burn fingers adjusting valves?
