cold lash adjustment for 223?

Does anyone know what the cold lash adjustment for a stock 223 I-6 should be? Can't get the engine to run until the valves are adjusted so the hot lash specs won't work.

57-64, 223, .019 hot is what I have.
Try .021-.022 cold. That should give you a bit of clearance for start up.

Valve lash

Hi there. According to my "motor's manual" the lash is the same hot or cold .019 1960-1964. If this does'nt help let me know and we'll put our heads together and figure it out. OBCB

The Ford shop manual for a '60 223, says 0.019 cold or hot as well!
