My T&D shaft mounts sound just as you described with 1/4 turn (which is about .020 lifter pre load). Going to a 1/2 turn will quite them down some but it will also increase the chance that the lifter will "pump up" at higher RPM. What lifters are you using? The GM racing "Caddy" lifters recommend .040 pre load. I used them in an engine I recently built for Noland Smith (Black Harley Man on the CF) and his is as quite as a mouse at 1/4 turn and pulls to 7000rpm without any valve float or lifter pump. I think you would be OK but every engine is different. Since he spec'd the cam for you, I would ask Llyod if going to 1/2 a turn would hurt you or not. Will |
