Not to ramble on, but I use to be obsessed with valve lash. I'd adjust after every race. I'd always find one or two that just seem exactly right. I use to take the tempeture of the rockers before I adjusted 'em. If it wasn't 180* I'd crank it up and get the temp up. Took me all day to set the lash ops:. I worried about it to the point of talking to 4 of 5 different engine builders about hot vs cold, .022 tight fit, snug fit, loose fit and so on.
I'm finally at peace with my lash now that I do it Cold and Snug!! LOL.
THANKS TO STEVE VANCE FOR HELPING ME THROUGH THAT! !
Also remember a small cam or lazy cam likes more lash. Bigger cams, more aggressive cams like tighter lash :wink:
