I finally got the car back together today. New headers, intake, and cam. I started it up and it runs good....on all four cylinders,,,,better than i expected....HOWEVER. The damn valves and rockers are tapping and clattering like mad bitches. I got the cam regrind done at colt cams. He didn't say nothing about the cold lash numbers so i set them like the factory says.....15mm intake, .28mm exhaust. This has to be wrong. I can hear them in the house with the car running in the garage.....please somebody help me....jteuton

Contact colt cams for the proper specs. If not you can play around with them and adjust them to diffrent settings, untill you notice less cliking and you'll know your in the right track.

They are not readily available so i'm going to do it by ear. So help me start. With a higher lift cam do i need more gap than the factory or do i need to lessen the vavle lash gap. I want to be heading in the right direction. I don't want to get it too tight and burn a valve....jteuton
