VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  Setting B230 Valves - Hot or Cold? 200 posted by  RicoS on  Sun Apr 26 05:18 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Wed Oct 28 05:30 CST 2009 [RELATED] All the motors I have ever fooled with required valve adjustments to be made with the engines stone cold. I know there are some engines which require valve adjustment to be done hot, but I never had one. Since Volvo gives specs for both cold and hot tappet clearances, I always use the cold setting. I just saw in the 700/900 FAQ's that a hot valve adjustment is recommended. Is there a valid reason to set the valves with the engine at operating temperature or is that procedure used just for the convenience of a repair shop?
