Is it possible to smack a valve with the Lt1
I was just wondering if it was possible for a valve to hit the pistion on a STOCK lt1 if you indexed the the opti wrong or the timming was off for whatever reason. Thanks

if the cam timing is off in reference to the crank, the pistons and valve can smack. but by the time the motor reached that point, it wouldn't even run. i would take a severely stretched/ broken timing chain, sheared/twisted cam gear to cam bolts, or a twisted/broken camshaft(highly unlikely to happen). ignition timing itself will not affect PTV clearance.
