hey mick, its not even a performance cam, its pretty tame cos ive got a efi setup. i previously asked around and the cam thats in it only requires stock lashpads, so i dount the lash pads them selves is the problem. im quite sure the performance isnt effected at all. its just the tapping sound is starting to piss me off a bit. i tried about 3 times to adjust them properly and have had no luck, maybe i should adjust it when its warm on did someone say 15? not 10-12?
