Bill, the lash tightens up .002-.003 on an iron head/iron block SBC (cold to hot), so keep that in mind. -Al

Thanks guys for replies,I' tried lash settings from .008 to .012 and was wondering just how close I could run . I noticed when checking cam lift that I lost a noticable amount of lift by running that much lash so that's why thought about tightning it up.(ex. .010 x1.5= .015 lift lost).It sure is fun doing crazy stuff like this but I believe it's going to fall by wayside in not too distant future.
