B16, CTR Cams, Valve adjustment
Question: Stock B16 with CTR cams about to go in, is the valve adjustment the same or different? If it's different then what should I do?

Makes sense now that someone else has written it, it's not like the size of the cams are changing, right

That's completely false.

Actually the size of the cam IS changing, why else would you replace the stock ones? The closed spec or base circle stays the same. And seeing is how you adjust the lash when the valves are closed, it should be the same spec for whatever cam is in there.
Some cam manufacturers might recommend a different spec that may be proprietary, but OEM vs. OEM, I'm guessing it's the same.

I meant new cams doesn't mean that I'd need a new block, they are getting fatter though. I should be alright though, thanks for the advice
