I don't know about over heating,but with tight valves loss of power causing more pedal.Cam should be at 1 to 2 o clock.

Hello all

My understanding is that intake valves should have .004 inch clearance and exhaust valves .012 inch clearance (1978 300D)

Two questions:
1. can intake valves being under .002 inch ( I do not have a .001 gauge)
and exhaust valves being over .014 inch cause overheating?

2. Can the adjustment be made when the cam is not STRAIGHT UP ?
I am using the starter to rotate the engine.

thank you
Rodger
