Cam ordered A quick question for those who have ridden this rodeo a few times. I have just recieved my cam. I initially was going with the T-Rex but the concern of piston /valve clearance came up. A cam in the 230 ish range of duration was suggested. The cam I ordered is
228/232 .600/.600 112 LSA
I dont have the equipment to flycut myself (spare set of heads). Does anyone have any knowledge of how a cam of this type does clearance wise from experience? Is it iffy, or is there room? By room I mean safe room, not skin of the toenail room LOL
Bottom end and heads are stock.
Thanks for input as always

Stock heads you should clear fine.
Where in NC are you? I may p.m. you about your Y. Nobody around here wants to mess with custom and all the boards say my QTP Y will fit like crap so I need to to decide....

Ya, It has a choppy idle, which I am not opposed to at all. I got a bit scared, its still on jackstands and I started it again today to get it nice and hot so I could check the coolant. I reved it and it felt like it was missing. Waited a few seconds and did it again and it reved fine. Guess the throttle had to get used to the cam???? Found one possible small oil leak, looks like a few drops over the span of 15 or so hrs.
I also noticed that when I reved it, normally some condensation gets blown out the tail pipes....no biggie. This time there looked like small metal flakes and a fibrous material. I'm hoping its just something with my cats or the muffler???????????? I hope??????? Never did it before so who knows.
First test drive to follow!
