It is said that you can tighten lash to see if the engine likes it. Question is how much can you safely tighten it? Magnum Cams must have a mild ramp speed. I have been told and used the 25% rule, if it is suppose to be set at .024 hot then .006 tighter and no more than .004 looser is what I try. Same thing if it is a tight lash cam, .016 hot then tighten up to .012 max and to .020 looser max Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
