Valve lash solid lifter 289
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2020 12:56 pm
Hey folks!
Looking for some experienced opinions on the mystery cam. Can't find the original builder to get make or specs.
Engine runs well, so I don't want to tear into it, just routine maintenance here.
I'm familiar with the old HP cam with long duration and 0.02" lash spec.
I'm pretty sure this is a modern grind with less duration. I'm seeing tighter lash specs for those.
Have it idling @ 800. It's bouncing 50 rpm, more or less.
I'm not racing, wondering if the old spec is the safest bet?
Rather lose a little lift than burn a valve.
Thanks!
JT
