Ran the 2056 on the stand for a last time to get the oil warm, and do the initial change, and get her ready for installation. Did another valve check. Which got me to thinking.
I am setting it to the spec that came with the cam, .006 for both exhaust and intake. Lift (.465) and duration (280 deg.) are the same for both valves. Question is, if exhaust valves expand more due to heat than intake, why does webcam recommend .006 for both? Why not .006 and .008 as is standard? It SEEMS to be running pretty well, but I know i have a good deal of fooling around with jets and such once its on the road and i can test her under load. At one point at about 3500 rpm it started firing back through No 4., but that was right about the time i was running out of gas in my temp. tank. I shut it off, and got a big pop and some flame out the tail pipe. I would really like address/double check anything now, as its way easier accesing things on the stands. |

Not to question your experience, Jake, of which i have utmost respect. Just trying to learn.
If your valve adj. and valve stem are in perfect alignment at mid stroke, seem like your going to be out of alignment for the rest of the stroke either before or after the midpoint. Doesnt this also cause loading on the valve? IE in Marks drawings as the adjuster comes down, seems like the top of the blue line would move left. As it goes up, it the top would swing closer to the redline, right? |
