Message	The clearance you are talking about is the valve clearance..(between the base circle of the camlobe and the bucket/lifter). On stock 300zx lifter (hydraulic type), the clerance is 0" as it will self-adjust. I am using Tomei solid lifter which require 15 thou on the exhaust and 17 thou on the intake per Tomei spec. I asked this question too a few days ago :) The clerance I am talking about is the clearance of the valve spring at max lift of the camshaft. Basically, it's how much more you can compress the spring before it will bind (become solid) when the valve is at it's max lift. Hope this help. I'm trying to figure out wether 30 thou clearance as measured is enough compare to the recommended 50 thou minimum rule of thumb.

I thought a 50 thou - Scotts94z32 17:55:04 04/21/04 50 thou will be way too much for the valve clearance:) - timz 18:09:43 04/21/04 isnt there a little shim under each bucket? - ScubaSteve 19:24:22 04/21/04 No shims, healthy lifters self-adjust (n/m) - Chip(GMS Racing) 21:15:29 04/21/04 Re: Need some advice from the valvetrain experts here >> - nixit 17:00:52 04/21/04 Thanks for the advice nixit:) - timz 17:38:20 04/21/04 no what he means is its better to have more clearance than - ScubaSteve 19:30:17 04/21/04 I am going almost the same route you are but - AzHeat 01:59:33 04/22/04 Your lift on the solid cams are off because you - AzHeat 02:04:11 04/22/04 No..On solid cam, cam lift = valve lift when eveything is - timz 07:25:45 04/22/04 Have you been to Tomei website ? I suggest you do because - AzHeat 08:52:17 04/22/04 You're right..I just figured this out - timz 09:39:39 04/22/04 I was thinking the same thing, how much you were - AzHeat 15:33:18 04/22/04
