Valve Adjustment

0.010 was the settings, I did my cabrio's about 3 weeks ago. Silence is golden.

Mine is loud as crap with .010, but quiter than .012. Jordan uses .012, but he has a fat cam so who knows.

You might be hearing injector noise now not valvetrain noise. M20 injectors are noisey.

This is true.

So, did we ever figure out which is better? 10 or 12? I just finished up today, and i'm almost 100% all 12 are at a tight to moderate .010, and it's 2x noisy, like TJ experianced in his thread. Maybe i'm not positioning the cam right. Does the ramp/point have to be exactly 180 degrees down (so the point is down, and the rocker arm is "above" it) or does the rocker just not have to be on the ramp part?
