    AB have you ever re-checked your cold setting of .35 against hot engine to see what the final result is?.
    just wondering what the out come might be.

    Humm, I tried setting cold on TB42 some time back and found It really needed doing hot , all were out.
    I'm no trained mechanic so I'm not as proficient or do it much.

    As a note to the above...

    The TB42 Is a petrol motor and has an aluminium head, the TD42 is diesel and the head is cast iron, the heat expansion rates will be much much different between the two.
