First get a set of the little deflectors that
keep the oil from spraying everywhere. ($6) Then make
sure the engine is warm. If its a hydralic cam take up
the slop in thevalve train by cranking the engine
over and screwing the nut down. Go about 3/4 turn
after the clicking stops. If your racing back the nut
out to the point where the clicking just starts. This
will give you about 200 more RPM. If its a solid cam
adjust the intake when the exhaust starts to close and
adjust the exhaust when the intake just starts to open.
Again if your racing tighten the lash about .005 from
manufactures recommendation. But these tricks are not for
daily driving. On the solid cam fooling with the lash
will tell you what the engine needs. If you tighten up
and slow down you might have too much cam. If you
loosen and go faster the cam is too big. Hope this
helps.
