Ive got a custom Cam motion SR cam. They recommended ls 23-25 cold. I have been setting them to 24 cold. They are noisy as hell. Not just one but the whole valve train. Granted this is my first SR setup and maybe they are that noisy. If they are no big deal just trying to take care of my setup

I have mine at .026 Hot. I never checked them cold but should be around .018 cold. Mine are a little noisy on a cold start but so are my forged nitrous pistons as well due to clearances. .23 cold is probably ~.030-032 hot which seems pretty large. What size cam are running?

Noisy when warm? As asked, like a sewing machine or do you hear metallic tapping? My CM cam were set at .017 cold as per their instruction.
