Well I don't know what the heck you used then, but unless I have you mixed up with someone else that altered black dress picture was amazing. It's a few years old so you might not remember. I was on the floor for hours. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Yes it was a compliment.

BTW, duration affects clearance much more then lift so you should have posted that instead. I don't know if anyone mentioned that. Don't feel like reading the whole thread.

i know about the duration, but im not going with anything too wild so it should be ok <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

dont forget that the base circle affects clearance too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> the comp cam has a smaller one than stock which is what brought this whole situation into effect in the first place.

as far as checking piston /valve clearance are you setting the valves at a lifter preload or .002 lash. if you are not setting in lash the lifters will pump up at high rpm
