Why is it so hard to get good advice !!???

I couldn't let sleeping dogs lie. Sometimes my curiousity eats at me!
I looked at the Lunati site and there wasn't any info on setting lash. I looked at some tech archives on a few sites and the most common number for aluminum heads/iron block is .006 tighter than the published hot number. This accounts for the growth that occurs when the engine warms up and expands.
My lash is now at .020 INT and .022 EXH, so I'll RElash them tomorrow at .014 and .016.
Of course I'll recheck after I break in the cam.


do as moper suggested for initial break in..... I have aluminum block and heads... I set my lash using EOIC(solid roller cam) to .006 cold and they grow.012 when warmed up which the cam call for .018 hot. I have a bump button under the hood and I just run thru lash real easy.
