Default Valve lash specs... with crower cams.

I am going to call Crower tomorrow, but if I can find the answer tonight, it's one less thing I have to deal with tomorrow. I know 90% of you will say not to run crower cams, but they are already in the car and I'm running them. So, I don't need any opinions on that, only factual info regarding the question at hand

Crower 63411t-2 Cams
Crower Titanium Retainers
Skunk 2 dual valvesprings
Ferrea Stainless valves @ stock size

Anyone know the correct valve lash? I've heard a lot of people say stock with whatever cams you use, but I would think it would have to change some. ??? if anyone knows please chime in...

Crower makes good stuff. I have a set of crower cams in a box now for my future build. I would buy from them over skunk2 or OBX anyday. Yes Jun and Toda have nice stuff but i dont want to spend all that cash for that upgrade.

Yeah I don't have the cam card b/c they are used, and have like 5k miles on them... which makes me not worry about them snapping due to the poor castings they had a while back

well not only that but alot of people dont realize you should have your cam journals line honed for new cams as if you were buying a new crank. You go bolting a straight precision machined shaft in multiple bores that are not concentric with each other...well the answer is hell yeah its gonna snap...

If that was the case, then wouldn't people who run used honda cams break them?

Cam clearances are .050-.089, that's huge. I've never heard of anybody having to get their cam journals line honed to stay in that range, not if they are using the cam caps that came with the head.

And looking at the cam card for my Crower 63401T-2 cams, whick have the same specs as the 63411T-2 cams (on the VTEC lobe), my clearances are:

I - .006
E - .008
