Default cam install question

I was told that you can install an aftermarket camshaft into a motor and not have to adjust the valve lash that the manufacturer suggested is this true or no?

thats great but i have an eg and I already have the zex 59300 installed... the main question is if it is really important to adjust the valve lash or not

Why wouldn't you just adjust them? Having the valves adjusted correctly is indeed important.

I would adjust valve lash per manufacturer spec's.

Different cam's, different amount of valve lash.

Do it

you can more then likely get away with using the stock valve lash specs with that cam. my old skunk2 cam said to adjust the valves to the stock lash settings. its definately good to do tho. i would recommend doing it
