GaryZ Posted April 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 14, 2010 Ok gang, I have a question and this is the place to get lots of opinions! I have installed Vmax cams and springs in my 1987 Venture 1300 engine. Venture intake valve lash is the same as the Vmax. However, exhaust valve lash is different; Venture: .16 - .20 mm Vmax: .26 - .30 mm Which lash will be right for my Frankenstein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted April 14, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2010 Vmax Clearance is the Way to go. The Vmax Valves are different smaller Stem and therefore expand a little more when the Engine's running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted April 14, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 14, 2010 Squeeze, GaryZ's doesn't have the full heads, just cams & springs. Rest of head is Venture with stock valves. Still go with wider clearances? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted April 14, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 14, 2010 Oh, I'm sorry, my bad ... For Venture Valves, please use Venture Clearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted April 14, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 14, 2010 Alrighty then, Shim tool & valve shims are on the way to me. (Thanks MiCarl) Glad I found out about this now before all the plastic was back on. Vmax service manual shows same as Venture in one place,and different in two others. Guess which one I read.
