Does anybody know what Ron recommends for the valve adjustments on his EA-81 Ram engine?

Not exactly. Here's the reply I got from Ron.
Andy
First of all the valve lash needs to be checked hot, the lash will be tight when cold. Also when you check the be absolutely sure that each cylinder is at TDC when checked, on that engine the one down and check the other (like on a chevy) will not work.
You might be getting some settling but you will not know by checking them cold. Set your lash, as I described, put a few hrs on it and check again, HOT!
Lash is Intake .010 Ehaust .012 hot.

Don,
Just to be sure, I am talking about the RAM Performance engine here and not the original Stratus. I got a Ram long block after I had a catastrophic failure of my Stratus engine one tear ago.
