What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Tonight was valve lash night for the avatar's 408. It hadn't been done in a tad over 2 years so time to get after it.
Took the RH valve cover off and had at it. Hmmm....no movement at all from where they were set in July 2022? Well - I did find one that was off by .001" but that may have been where I set it back then.
3rd time I've checked them and they seem to stay put. This is a Bullet SFT cam with profiles for the midsize valve lifters (ie. Ford size) so the cam is easier on the valve train but likely gives up some area under the curve (ie. hp). But I'm overall pleased with it and this is just another reason why!
p.s. some of you may like the spark plug access you can see here with these 1-3/4" Hooker Super Comp headers. The driver side has the same access too!
