Hi,
I came to wthe world 2 hours ago when leafing through the Haynes. I was reading the specs and sttings of the engine and found that the cold valve clearance for a B20B should be 0.057 inch (1.44 mm).
Now, I have always set them at 0.2 as said on the vlvworld.com website, not having any haynes around. Now that I'm in posession it, I'm pretty puzzled!

What's correct/works best for the B20??

Additionnally, could an unsufficient valve clearance give hot starting problems? Thanks, Séb
