You can hear the noise of the solid lash adjusters when the camera is close to the valve cover. the lash is set at .014int. and .016ex.

PREFACE...
No lack of respect to all.

Belt tracking = true @ idle... +/- 4 % deflection at? 7k?...

"Should equate" to - .001 intake, -.002 EXHAUST.

dUH, sorry, Cam base circle ? (if I may impose)

Warren, can you post up the pictures here in your project build thread of your tube header, cylinder head pix, and other related things? I tried showing a few people your work at my shop, but it takes forever to find the thread(s) if I actually can...

Here you go, you asked for it!

I came.

**Directconnection** · 11-28-2010, 09:20 PM

You're missing a few pix of your mousetrap setup

But this will do

**onerippinturbo2** · 11-28-2010, 09:53 PM

holy smoke, all that looks awesome, really words can't explain how it all looks and it makes me feel stupid trying to put a definition to it all, such attention to detail and i cant even start on the header,wow words cant describe it. your work is outstanding to say the least, now i gotta go and sob in the fetal position while mumbling.

**Vigo** · 11-28-2010, 10:00 PM

Its like a pile of awesome came out of my computer screen and knocked me over backwards.

I came.

Concise and effective portrayal.

One of the most win posts I've seen on T-M ever! :shock:

Like I've said before, I'm glad I have a few years to "try" to catch up but I'm starting to wonder if I ever will. You've set a bar that I'll need a space suit to jump over.
