well, after a month of every company i dealt w/ flaking & lagging on me EXCEPT for h-t members: frank@b16a.com,YelLowITR, dr.kimball, ernircars, and a couple other guys, i'm finally putting my head back on. i have 01 itr cams which ill probably advance 2deg./in and retard 1deg./ex. ill get to the dyno sooner or later but for now... i havent heard of a gsr w/ this set-up that hasnt benefited from a lil +in. & -ex.(if u have please post)
i was wondering, when i do the valve adj. w/ the cams advanced & retarded is the valve lash the same??(since the cams r in differnt positions)

or

do i do the valve adj. w/ the cams @ 0, then advance and retard them afterwards??
hmm.. now that i mention it, the ladder of the two seems right, but anyone know for sure??
TIA

 

The valves are adjusted completely closed, plus or minus a few degrees won't matter 'cause they are each completely closed for more than 180 degrees of cam rotation.

And because they are closed for 180 deg. or more, does the valve adj. need to be done, at exact TDC for each cylinder (disregarding advanced or retarded timing)? or just close to TDC?

 

well no ..npt really....thats just the point where the cam lobe is completly off the rocker pads so you can adjust it and have room

 

****, this thread is over a year old. just goes to show search is your friend. nice one 4gen

 

True

 

Yeah, I figured that might be the case, the cylinder has to be at TDC for the valve to be completely closed, correct?
