Solid lifters on a hydraulic cam
 

I have installed a new Bullet hydraulic cam and solid lifters in my stocker and broke it in properly.
Now I need to set the valves for racing. What valve lash for valves set cold as opposed to hot?
Thanks, Ron

Depends whether you have aluminum or iron heads. Best method is set them cold then see what it changes to when hot.

Iron heads on an iron block.

You can set them really tight, from 3 to 5 thousand's

Good morning Ron,
You could consult with Bullet on this since they ground the cam, I'm thinking they would best. I'd also set the lash a couple of thousand's looser on the exhaust side verses the intake side due to the extra heat in that valve over the intake valve. You'll find everything will expand or contract due to temperature difference's. Have a productive day!
