[DeTomaso] Solid Camshaft lash?

[Mark Tumbarello]

You mean Hot. I have a Comp Cams 294S and it's 0.022 hot. For a cold motor 
you need to subtract for the heat expansion, Iron heads maybe 0.002- 0.004, 
Aluminum heads 0.005-0.007. I set mine a 0.016 cold and they were right on 
0.022 hot, Comp says you can run thier cams up to 0.002 tight and not more 
than 0.003 loose.  YMMV, Mark
