Default PTV related to LSA
How much does lowering the LSA/ICL alter PTV clearance?

The biggest factor is the lobe duration.

232/234 112+2 Was told it would safely clear most likely with .080/.100 clearance Pretty much a Torquer V2. I'm kinda wanting to order one on a 110+2 but I don't have a clue how much it will affect my PTV clearance.

That cam will be fine. The trex is bigger on a tighter lsa and works with stock heads. It's always a good idea to measure

My 232/234 on a 112+4 clears my 62cc 243's just fine.

What I'm saying is how much difference +/- is there by shrinking LSA and advance by two degrees each

2* +/- should net 25 thousandths from what my head porter told me.

Don't quote me on this as ramp rates can effect PTV clearance, but a rule of thumb is ~.010" for every degree earlier. Remember 2* duration opens the valve only 1* earlier

Wow, that's more than I was expecting.

Is this 5W 40 Shell Rotella too thick for me?
