Howard's edm lifter adjustment

The .557 also calls for 28/32. But I took out .004 for aluminum heads and cold lash.


You can take more than that out. That's too damn loose. I'd do .020/.024 and then check them hot. Take the hot measurement and subtract the cold measurement. That's the amount you cold lash so the hot lash is .020/.024 as there is no reason to lash them that loose. It just makes noise and beats the piss out of stuff.

Luckily, those lobes have a pretty slow lash ramp so you can close the lash down quite a bit before you have issues.
