Another valve setting question........curious

I agree Alan, my "feel" is on the tight side also. The number is not important as much as doing a lash loop to find what the engine wants. The key is to be consistant with your settings or "feel".

Alan
Can you post the companys that are making them and are the like the P & G do they attach to the retainer?
Thanks

The only one I can find right now is made by Cam Correct, and sold by Competition Products.

It is not the only one, there is at least one more, but I can't find it right now.

PMS (Precision Measurement Supply) in Texas sells one that runs in the area of $250. If I remember correctly it's a good piece (uses a Starrett dial indicator) but you would have to ask around for a recommendation since I have not used theirs personally. I don't think their design can be used with a stud girdle.

That's the other unit I was thinking of.

I like his stuff, I have several pieces that he makes.

I'm betting that if it will not work with a stud girdle, that if the demand is there, he'll make every effort to make something work. He's a driven problem solver, he loves the challenge of finding the best way to do something well, and faster.
