I know this is probably a dumb question but what is the difference between the valve lash and adjusting them.
The reason I ask after setting mine to 12 & 14 I was looking in the haynes book for 84 BII 2.8l and found it only talks about the valve lash as the adjustment and it is set at 35 & 40, no mention of adjusting the valves to 12 & 14. I have always set mine this way and never really read the book on it and had no problems. Then I looked at a chiltons manuel for the 79 Ford Mustang same engine and it's valve lash setting is different 16/18 and again no mention of the valve adjusting to 12/14.
I couldn't find any posts on here regarding valve lash only the valve adjustments and it is the same as I have and do.
