Guest Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 What is the valve lash on a "425" cu. in. nailhead. I installed a Kenny Bell cam and lifters and had to use adjustable push rods and hydraulic lifters and I am uncertain what the clearance should be. Down to zero and leave it there, or go a turn and a quarter/half after zero.....or what?????????????????????? <BR>Thanks for anyone's help, I appreciate it very much.

The Old Guy Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 A good rule of thumb is half the distance the lifter has movement. Most lifters have .090 travel and if you have a 5/16 fine thread( 5/16-24) then one turn would be .040 and should work just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
