I've got a 66TR4A I bought a few years ago. It has some kind of modified cam. Some old notes from the prior owner say the cam is from Ken Gillandere at British Frame and Engine, Ryland Avenue, Temple City, CA. Notes I have say that the Exhaust Lash is .018 and the Intake Lash is .016. The Duration for each is 260.
Then I have a graph with those specs, and the graph says "Data for Degreeing Cam at .050 Tappet Rise," and that graph shows durations of 214 with no information about valve lash. Not sure what the graph is telling me, although is says the intake valve opens at 37 degrees and the exhaust closes at 37 degrees.
Do I use the .016 and .018 for the valve clearance when adjusting the tappets--instead of .010? Seems a bit extreme for variation. By the way, would this explain why this car is fast off the line but seems to top out quicker at high RPMs than my plain stock 4A?
Below are copies of my specs and graph.
