I was just pointing out that BB's are not exactly straight and SB's are perfectly straight. So side play is not as critical. Just wondering if 0.030" side play for example would be a problem in a SB.
Not really a problem,
But noisier then .010 - 0.15
Isn't valve train noise your original concern?
It will be quieter at those settings then what you have now for sure.
Also I noticed my valve train was getting noisy, so just now I added a 1/4 turn to all rocker arm adjustors and it is back to normal.
