Thatis counter-intuitive. And exactly the opposite of what I was thinking. That makes the cam "smaller" as the engine warms up. Since that's the case, why not set lash near zero when cold, knowing that it will grow as the engine heats up?

Why not? I was cruising through the Lunati web site, and they have beehive springs specifically for the solid roller cams; 425# open pressure.

Everything I'v read about the beehives say that they're the next step in spring technology. But not many racers are willing to step up and give them a try. If they're all they say they are, seems like that would be some easy power.
