The Cornish Club table is interesting. Has anyone confirmed that the hot and cold tappet settings correspond? What is the original source of the cold settings? 360 lb in or 30 lbs ft seems to be a remarkable tension for 5/16 head studs. 20 lbs ft as the big ends seems more prudent. Excessive tensions distort cylinders and valve seats. broken studs can be very tedious to remedy. Is it the tension which causes the common crack near centre? Note how very conservative is the effective full advance timing for th the auto distributors. One inch is 11 deg on flywheel.
