When you talk about running 0.030 VP clearance is that with the valves lashed, or with the rocker tight against the valve tip when the cam is on the base circle?




i dont bother checking V/P clearance with zero lash......since thats not how the motor runs(unless its a hyd cam).
i check everything with the correct lash.

so, to answer your question, i ran that 383 with that little amount of clearance.

what your seeing is part of the reason many of the longer duration BBC cams are put on wider LSA's.
