Running a solid flat tappit cam.

I'm at .015 with the lash set to zero. Can I get by with .030 lash?

I had the cam advanced and it made it worse I believe The above is at 0* or straight up.

Intake has a mile of clearance..

I seem to remember something like .100 clearance but don't remember which valve that was?

Thanks to all that reply.. I'm in a crunch 23 days to Pinks All Out..

if you need exhuast valve CL , advancing the cam --should have got more ex/v clearance. best check your cam degreeing again . edit, is this a wide angle --LSA cam

IMO way to tight you want at least .060-.080, try moving the cam around like Dan is suggesting.
