If aluminum, set lash to .006". If steel, set (cold) lash to "loose zero".

...................You really should buy a shop manual. Haynes is a good
source for the basic stuff. If you're not sure of a local source, go to
amazon.com. The Bentley would be even better but costs more.

alluminum p-rods?

I have a receipt from the former owner that says, "1776 longblock w/new
case r(something) heads angle (?) 100 (?) w/ alum gear" $950
That's probably not enough to go on, I betcha.

You betcha.
(fwiw, my valvelash is set at zero (0), but it's a strange engine.)

when you go to adjust the valves, put a magnet to the p-rods..if it
sticks they are obviously not alluminum...if they are steel or
chromoly adjust pretty tight....i use "loose zero" with my chromoly
p-rods...meaning I adjust out all the freeplay, but can still spin the
p-rods with my fingers...if yours are alluminum then go with teh
standard .006....if they are steel maybe start out at .002 just to be
safe...im not sure if the steel and chromoly steel have the same
expansion rates, so i can't really comment on exacts for regular steel
p-rods...

Why the different settings for different materials?
Karls Vladimir Peña
heat is applied requires a bigger setting. With a less expanding material,
you can keep the gap tighter.
