Q: On a non turbo what difference will it make if i set the valve lash to .35mm instead of.30mm?


They basically say im chasing a ghost.

So for the record i am now running a turbo model cam and lifters in a 79 om617 912 series motor.


I am playing with my ip timing for the billionth time now.
Did you get access to EPC to check the part numbers for the turbo rockers?

How about pre-chambers and pistons - have you got the older type installed?
