Simon,

Modified cams require the large clearance (don't ask me why?) So go for .015
that is what mine is.

The car is a MkII BT7.

The BMC manual says adjust the clearances, cold, to 0.012".

Denis Welch said I should go 0.015", cold, after fitting their "Fast Road"
cam.

The rolling road guy said 0.016", warm.

 

I have the radiator out right now so I can get a nice socket onto that nut
and have a go at the clearances.

Stick with 0.015", cold?

 

Thanks,

Simon
