Intake set at .016, exhaust at .023. Easiest, fastest best option.

Thanks for the information. I've given it to my husband & if he has any questions, I'll let you know.

You will find lash setting suggestions of .024 and .030. This is too loose and will cause noisy operation, accelerated valvetrain wear and reduced power.
