shelbydoug,
Thanks for your reply. I've attached here my source for the lash settings of .020/.025 for the
C7FE cam and have found that exact same spec in Bob Mannel's "Mustang & Ford Small Block V8, 1962-1969, Vols I & II", Appendix G, Page 2.
But several outside sources have spoken to me about both valves being set at the
same lash (and of course that setting varies between those guys too!) but none of them are subscribing to the two books I have that show a
different setting for the two different valves.
In my mind, this was a simple question that would have a simple answer. But what I'm finding out is it's like the age old question of what oil is the best. 10 guys, 10 different answers, you know what I mean?
Your reply states that "cam manufacturers always state the hot clearances" - but this chart is not from cam manufacturers. So... would you consider these hot or cold settings?
I need a beer!
