    Default What info do I need to give my mechanic to set up bigger cams?

    I bought a bigger set of cams for my 4AGE smallport head, and I want to get them set up properly, but I have lost the piece of paper that came with them to give to the guy at the engine shop so he knows where to set the valve clearances etc at.
    I have the number for crows cams and the part number, but I dont know what I am supposed to be asking them for?
    Do I just ring and ask what the valve clearances should be set at for the bigger cams or is there more info I need like the tappet settings or something?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers.

    lol, tappet settings = valve clearances
    and tappets are old pushrod thingies.....
    anywho....
    call crows cams and get them to fax to you the peice of paper that came with your cams.

    Punctuation is the difference between 'I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse' and 'I helped my uncle jack off his horse.'
