Re: (redturbocivic)

I believe Si cams and GSR cams require the same clearance...not 100% on this, but I'm thinking that they do.

Re: (bluesi00)

You adjust the valve lash to the setting of your head, one of the reasons they will have to be adjusted is because when you are installing them you loosen the valve lash adjustments to prevent the cam from binding. Dropping in the cams and just smashing on the cam caps wouldn't be very wise.
