It's been awhile since I had a B20 in my shop, but aside from working on them for years I had two as daily drivers for years as well. I used to set them to the factory spec way back in the day until my shop foreman walked by and said "set them all at .020" hot, across the board". Being a long time B20 guy I took his advice and never looked back. That was on my current daily driver a '74 145, the difference out of the hole was phenomenal. Set them at .020", not.2
