Any advice on setting the valve clearance on a 2200 solid lifter engine. I followed the manual by rotating the prop 360 degrees from when the valve was fully depressed and set at .010.I did all the valves following this proceedure. Then I rechecked by checking the clearance by rotating engine till one valve was depressed then checked the other. The valve which was set at .010 now has a clearance of .012 in this position. This was true of all the valves when I checked using the second method.Which is correct?

Whichever method you use the end product should be .010" maximum clearance, cold, after torquing the head bolts. After setting the clearance to .010" with your feeler gauge, with the gauge still in place, rock the prop back and forth a bit to see if the clearance gets larger, i.e. the gauge gets looser. If it gets looser, then re-adjust at this loosest point to net .010" clearance.
