Setting valve lash 428 cbj

[FWB]

whoa there turbo...i would re-read that post again patrick.....

you set the lash to what?

.0014? a thou and a half?
if this is really where he set them i would not drive it. if this had mechanical lifters i would be setting them at .024 hot.
then you will be at least safe while you figure out what cam is in it
.0014 is going to break stuff

He just has his decimal off. .0014 is the thickness of typical paper. I don't think my feeler gauges even go down that low.

... we are talking solid lifters here, correct?
