Just after peoples opinions on what to set them at. The cam is a 274 @ 112° with 1.5 roller rockers. The manufacturer recommends 0.012, but the seams a little tight to me. It's going on my gay supercharged engine, so no turbo to get in the way of the exhaust flow. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Im guessing the 12 thou is from the cam manufacturer, that would be for standard rockers so you need to multiply that to the 1.5 rockers which makes 16 thou
Edited by paul wiginton on 3rd Sep, 2012. I seriously doubt it! |

Me too. The headline banana and curly wurly figures should happen pretty quickly once it's on the road, but I reckon me and John will be spending a long time getting cruise and part throttle right to get the best out of it.... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

i would guess that the over-run will also need some attention, as on my carb'd car it can still pull fuel when the throttle is snapped shut which used to make the car stall at junctions due to becomming way to rich.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I have a piper cam and 1.5 rockers.I run .010 inlet and .012 ex but a bit 'loose'.It seems fine.I tried opening these up by the increased ratio but it sounded very rattly to me. 'Where does the engine go?' |

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

work back from the standard vlalve clearance value and then recalculate for the 1.5 rockers, can't go far wrong with that.
