Thread: another which cam question,

Tweet

with the setup I have been asking about and with the Howard roller cam with advertised dur @278 and 284 with a lift of .574 and .585. will I need to check my valve clearances? I live in a small Iowa town and the local machine shop thinks I am spending too much time on the internet when I ask them to check valve clearances. They did an awesome job on the last Y-block engine I had rebuilt.

How do you know that? Compared to what? Checking piston to valve clearance is just one of the necessary operations you should perform to insure that you have a good foundation for the build.
