Minimum Solid roller valve lash

WHat is the lowest(smallest) lash you would go on a solid roller that is street driven?

The lower the lash number the more cam the engine "sees" which lowers DCR correct? So is there a point of diminishing returns?

Typically you don't want to go more than .002-.003 either way from the recommended lash setting. It's common for an engine with aluminum heads to tighten the lash .006 to allow for the aluminum expansion.

You know it ALL so you tell us.

The last car/engine I built was your engine was 2001 built your car in 2006.Fixing to build my engine shortly.
Got it all off of the net too ya phoney *** hol*

I can't sell my engine I have to use it to outrun your sorry thieving lying phoney ***.

I pay my way here just like the groceries at your place I bought EVERY week To the tune of about $400.00 a month + the $104.00 cable bill.

You OR Sue don't know what I have been a partner on or anything about me or my racing for the last 25/30 years.

After I out run ya BIG time ya will be sorry you started all this crap with me. Just ain't gonna take it from you or anybody else.

I want my tools and equipment back now not next year or there will be a heavy price to pay.

Talk as usual old man

You call me a thief one more time and YOU will be getting a certified letter, you of all people should know that is slander. Running your mouth on **** you cant prove, on **** that is not true...AS USUAL. Keep it up old man, I have printed every post you have called me a thief on.

I aint worried about you and your "heavy price to pay". Bull**** talk as usual....come on with it, I got something for ya...and it aint my car. It is all sitting in a folder waiting for the day.


You aint nothing, aint never been nothing and never will be anything but what you are now, which is less than zero. And what is so bad is you CHOSE the alcoholic, lier, looser,user, wife beating path...AMAZING! That tells me alot.


As far as outrunning me????????? See HERE is where you have been F*CKED up your whole life, your credability AS A MAN comes before ANYTHING, including a damn CAR. In other words you take YOUR responsibilites AS A MAN before building and racing a car. AS A MAN you should not use people, live off them to build a car, keep money from a marriage to build a car(that was not even yours) You put that aside and live on your own and not BURDEN people so YOU can build a car...and this goes for me, Susan, and Charlene. Just where do you get off doing that ****?


Even if you DO get a car running and outrun me with it, so what? YOU built it by living off other people and making there life CRAP so YOU could build a car, like you have done your whole life. I got a news flash for you, CHARLENE DOES NOT WANT YOU THERE! No one wants to live the last part of their life supporting their deadbeat brother.

I did it in MY house, holding down a full time job, paying for MY house and car MYSELF. There is NO way I could live off someone else and build a car while screwing up THEIR life to do it...I see you are different.

Just go away and die old man,I smile everyday day knowing you are suffering, and as a result of YOUR OWN doing. These message boards are the only clinging thing you have left to make you feel like somebody,Because no one else is around. The only friends you (think) you had were my friends and you screwed that up with the way you are, using people and lying constantly and THAT is a shame. Live on your own, tell the truth(for a change) you would be amazed how that would make you feel, as a MAN.

This saga has been going on for years, but has really reached the public over the last several months.

Adioss, I guarantee you this, even in his PRIME he could not mess with me. WHen he was in his 40's he talked so much trash it was rediculous. Ragged on his brother who is QUITE famous in my book, which probably burned his *** because he is and was a nobody.

I had enough one night of seeing him rag his brother and called him outside, even held the door open for him.....he went no where NEAR the door...he has always been , as my Mom says, a bag of wind.

He wants no part of this and never has. He will whine and cry about his neck being messed up, he fell down drunk and did it to himself. I called him out in the yard at his Moms house 20 YEARS before that happened to his neck.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANd as far as $400 a month EVERY month for two men to eat is damn rediculous, who are you fooling? I ate out 1/2 the time and bought groceries myself alot of the time. And on top of that you shopped at Sams club. Anyone with any sense can figure that out, Richard Gautier with two kids ANd Rich Bacon with one kid does not spend that much money per month at the grocery store, I asked them BOTH. SO how did you, EVERY month? They may spend that much Every other or every third month they said.You tried to shove that crap down my throat while you were living here and could not produce the receipts to back up your claim well thats easy it is a lie, period.

As far as the cable/internet bill, I told you when you moved in if you wanted that crap you were gonna pay for it. I already had cable and dial up internet and that was all I needed...so dont go there.

SO dont make out like you paid bills around here, when you have a roommate they pay for 1/2 of the bills and do 1/2 of the chores, you did NO chores and paid almost nothing.

This is not the venue for these discussions. If it continues from this point on there will be infractions issued and then people will be banned. It's sad that it has to come to this, as I'd like to think this is where some of the more mature people on the board frequent... This behavior is anything but.
