Default Re: Valve to head clearance

Elwood, further to your initial request, I think a more important consideration, when selecting a camshaft, is the use the vehicle will be put to. At what engine revs will it be mainly run at, weight of vehicle etc, gearing.....All too often, I feel that people 'overcam' their engines and get some wonderful sounding cam at idle. Then find that, for example, in a street driven car, predominately used on the hiway at 60-70 MPH, the engine is turning 2000 RPM and the cam comes in strong at 3500.
edit, Ron was typing much the same as me at the same time; beat me to post.
