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.
