RE: piston to valve clearance

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I understand what best practices are. However, I am looking for some insight here. A roller cam is already a large investment (cam, lifters, distributor gear, pushrods and probably valve springs). If piston to valve clearance is an issue then there is the additional expense of fly-cutting the pistons, rebalancing, and gaskets. Before I even make the purchase it would be nice to know if someone on this site has run this cam and what they had to do to run it safely. The engine is in the car and running fine so there is really not any other reason to pull it.

This thread, so far...
