SDPC Tech Tips: Piston To Valve Clearance

Not everyone can rely on their friend Clarence to see if they have clearance. For the rest of us, Nick goes over a simple, yet extremely important detail on engine assembly. This is especially true when using a camshaft with extreme lift and/or duration with some of the newer lobe profiles we have access to.

Thanks for the walk through. Perfect illustration!

I missed a couple things. Did you set the pushed tool to zero lash or to actual length?
How did you get any exhaust print with no pushrod on it?

Hi ! You say, we're not using a "big" camshaft in this one . At what camshaft is the limit ? I have something around 328 ... 242 in my 302, would I expect to go close on any tolerances ? Btw, I have notched pistons, with reliefs .

Do you need to prime the lifters or use solid lifters for this?
