5.9 stroker build

Coil bind is 1.190"; from the 1.900" installed height leaves .710". Max cam lift is .587, leaving .123" safety margin. But how does lash affect the safety margin? The recommended lash is .080"-.095"; is lash added or subtracted from the safety margin?

You mean .080-.095 from coil bind.

I try to stay close to that if that’s what the spring calls for.

The more aggressive the car, the greater the spring load and the more rpm the more critical that is.

If you are .110 away from coil bind you’d be fine.

I need to look at your numbers again.
