Ok, I made a brass cam button and now I need to see if my numbers and assumptions are ok.
Superformance gasket thickness .051
total gap between cover and camshaft using clay with no gasket and bolts tight .648
cam button length .684

assumption 1: Roller cam end play .005-.010
assumption 2: Gasket crush .005-.010

So I get for math
gasket .051
minus crush -.005
plus gap +.648
equals =.694
minus button -.684
equals gap =.010

If I crush .010 on the gasket, my endplay would then be .005

Is my math ok? Are my tolerances ok? Did I miss anything?
