ANother minor annoyance, but I think in real life it wouldn't matter too
much -- the cam is spec'd at .010 lash, but the factory settings are .012
intake/.016 exhaust. (I now suspect the larger exh lash is to accomodate
localized heating issues...) yet another thing that makes me think that the
cam grinder isn't very savvy about this particular motor and it's
application.


Maybe your missing something in the equation?

That's what I'm hoping. I'm wrong all the time. In cases like this I PREFER
being wrong, as my own mistakes are the easiest to fix!
