Hi Dan, I have a large collection of publications that go all the way back. Publications for the early cars is not dated in numerous cases. You have to dig through it and see what you can compare to what you know. With that said I find a reference that says .004 on intake and .006 on the exhaust. I find that closer than I would want my rig. Frankly I would use a vacuum gage to set the valves. If I find a different answer I will let you know. Another repair manual gives "about .005" and for the model "D" .003 I would expect the boys from down under will chime in here most any minute.

The earliest i can find is for the 490 and FA and FB models from the 1919 repair manual. .004" intake and .006" exhaust , or a piece of ordinary letter paper at .005" can be used.

Wow. My immediate reaction is that is really tight! Surprising (to me).

I have the valves set on My 1914 Royal mail at .008 on the intake and .010 on the exhaust. It runs very well at that setting.

With the exception of one exhaust valve set at .005, the intakes were between .011 to .013 and the exhausts between .012 and .015. All readings cold. This motor has not run in over 55 years.

So be sure and get Kaydene out there with a video cam with sound and record its rebirth, when that glorious moment comes! 55 years is a while.
