99 problems and a Ford ain't one.

Hold up, you were told "no lash on a solid roller cam"? Yikes, that's BS. Please add .020 lash hot on both intake and exhaust!!!! That could be your 'running like **** warm' as the rollers at .010 or zero are holding the exhaust valves open! Comp Magnum solid roller cams spec to .020/.020 lash, I assume that would be a good start and a roller is pretty tolerant of a wide lash.


NOT IF HE IS RUNNING A HYDRAULIC LOBE WITH SOLID LIFTERS. I point that out because it is becoming more and more accepted, although it’s years too late.

OTOH if it is a solid lobe it may be a right lash lobe and lash between .016-.018 hot.

OTOOH, it may be a solid lobe and the lash is way too tight.

We need more info.
