Re: Cam Swap Stuff-Bolts & Clearances

William,

It's not my first time installing a cam, just my first time installing
a SOLID LIFTER cam. I know enough to know that I don't know...so I
always ask a bunch of questions and clarify first!!

So if I set the lash @ .002 cold, I guess that makes it 0 when hot?

Thanks for the info
