Hi all,

I want to check my valve clearance's, I think they are supposed to be .08 in .10ex, But is the the same for all cams or are cams with higher lift different?

Cheers :thumbs:
 
Depends on the Cam profile and Manufacturer's info, but the majority of Road Spec Cams will utilise the standard settings.

Race ones are a different mattter, but if you are into that level, consult the Engine builder
 
I am the engine builder :eek:., Home job in the garage I cant find the card that came with the cam and cant remember what the clearance was:confused:

profile of the cam is 290 .495.

I got in contact with schneider cams, they mailed me the card but it just has the came timing info on it, nothing about valve clearance.
 
I run with clearances 1 thou bigger than standard (as advised by my respected engine builder) never had any reason to change it.

The valves (especially exhaust) need to spend a certain amount of time on their seat to cool. Perhaps that's the reason.:unsure:
