I know the stock clearance is .005 on the exhaust valves and .004 on the intake but does anyone know the clearance for a Stage 2 hot cam? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have found some for the Stage 1 but that is it.

Anyone??

Hotcams have different vavle gap clearance requirements than stock.

I know the Stage 1 is .005 and .006

.005 and .006 is what you want to set them at.

The cam is only 2 years old. I would say it is new. I appreciate all the advise everyone and will start at .005 and .006.
