Hmmm,,,,,,,,think they sent a cam card with the cam just to get rid of some  
extra paper

My  lifters are on their way to Canada, so I'm starting my re-assembly
tomorrow  morning. I have a friend that's familiar with degreeing a
cam, but I've  never adjusted a solid lifter setup before so I just
want to get a couple  of tips. Am I correct that you generally set the
valve lash cold, warm the  engine up, then check and re-adjust them
hot? Is there a way I can set them  cold and not have to re-adjust them
hot (like add .002" or  something)?

Also, my FSM gives 2 sets of lash settings....010" intake  and .020"
exhaust while hot in the specs section, and .013" intake &  .012"
exhaust without spec'ing temp in the FSM instructions for rocker  arms.
My cam card gives one setting for both at cold (.012" I think).  Which
one should I follow? Do I set them cold and forget it by the cam  card?
Or do I go back and forth chasing adjustments? The  installation
procedure is less than stellar in the  FSM.

Thanks

Bill
