From our earlier conversations,
"Feeling for actual tappet clearance on the intake rocker arms, the cam lobe closing ramps seemed to trail off extremely far.
I opened all 4 intake valve tappets .004" OVER-Specs to allow the bloody intake valves to actually Close completely, more normally.
Worked perfect & no excess tick."
so go to .30 mm? so go to .29-.30?my shims are in increments of .5mm. i do have shims for that. i can get to .29mm.
thicker shims increase the clearance.
