A furnace cold air return typically needs at least 6 to 12 inches of clearance from any obstructions to ensure proper airflow. This space allows for adequate air circulation, which is essential for the efficient operation of the heating system. Additionally, local building codes may specify minimum clearance requirements, so it's important to check those regulations as well.

How do you adjust valve clearance in a chevy 350 with a solid lifter cam?

The manufacturer's cam card will tell you how much clearance, and whether the clearance is measured hot or cold. From the point when the #1 cylinder is at TDC you can set 1, 2, 5, and 7 intake valves and 1, 3, 4, and 8 exhaust valves. Rotate the engine one revolution and set the rest.


Will replacing the heat exchanger prolong the life of your furnace?

The heat exchanger in a furnace is the primary component in a furnace. That said, their are circuit boards, motors and other components that can also fail regardless of the age of the heat exchanger. In my opinion, if you can afford to replace the furnace, you would be much better off. The cost of the heat exchanger with labor is probably not too much less than replacing the entire furnace.
