After checking all the components , we ran the engine of the dyno again . Ran well so once the engine cools down lash will be checked again .

Ran into this with my bbc with titanium valves. The sealing surface of the valve began to erode causing the lash to close up a little over time.

If the valve was stretching due to getting really hot , I agree this could be a cause . This engine runs at WOT on the dyno for a very short time . A test is a sweep test lasts only about 10 seconds at WOT . So I have a hard time thinking that these valves get hot enough to stretch . Anything is possible . Don't have EGT's running , but the O2 sensors are saying the A/F ratio is around 12.8 .

So now, after all this grief , we checked the lash cold and lo and behold they all measure exactly what they were set at . Glad we checked everything , and don't regret being concerned , but all is well now . Thanks for all the ideas and comments . |

So was the Lash off the first go round? Sounds like it.

Best deal to verify and control accuracy of valve lash is from Precision Measurement Supply in San Antonio. Little valve gapper with dial indicator. Amazing how far off the "feeler" gauge method can be.
