Sorry for the newbie question but what determines the valve gap (.006 vs .008 etc) when doing the maintenance adjustments. Most of the discussions seems to be applicable to stock 1.7/1.8 vs 2.0 engines? What about new builds (2056, 2200, 2270 etc)? How about ported heads?

I will try to answer
The 2.0 engines used sodium filled exhaust valves that expand more than non sodium valves. The gap is determined by the expansion rate of multiple different metals The type of actual valves and actual pushrod materials in your actual motor will determine the valve gap you need to use... that will play friendly with the amount of expansion when the motor is warm |
