You have all basically confirmed my thought that 1/1000 of an inch will not make that big a difference on the exhaust valves. This is good news in that I don't have a big shim kit lying around.
I am amazed at how well made these cams must be! I when I put on these replacements after removing the FI type cams, I expected a great deal of variation but there is virtually none. Especially amazed as the 70s were a really bad time for car making for every company. Now I can move on to the rest of the projects...two synchros, transmission seals, diff pinion seal, transmission mount, springs and shocks for the rear, completion of the carb conversion, and many others. I hope to have the car on the road this spring. - Eric H., Marietta, GA (waiting for that free Berlina that everyone else received) -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
