motor wont run on idle after cams installed............help..........
My motor won't run on idle if my foot is off the gas. Motor runs and idle just fine if I let it have an massive air leak. What I need to set valve clearance, because I have it at OE spec.
The head & Euro R manifold are port and polish, with stock GSR throttle body for now. Crower stage 2 with springs and retainers. Stock bottom end.
Thanks for the helps.

If they are big cams it will need a pretty high manifold pressure at idle. Probably a good bit of tuning too.

Your cam timing is off. Did you use a degree wheel when you installed your cams? If not I'd feel safe to bet that either your intake or exhaust cam lobes are in the incorrect position. Good way to burn up valves. If they don't touch the seat they don't cool. If it's massive air I'd suggest starting at the intake cam.
