Makes sense (for some reason).=C2=A0 I put a DWR1 cam in my BJ8 which, acco=

Simon,

Modified cams require the large clearance (don=E2=80=99t ask me why?) So go=
 for .015 that is what mine is.

The car is a MkII BT7.
=20
The BMC manual says adjust the clearances, cold, to 0.012=E2=80=9D.
=20
Denis Welch said I should go 0.015=E2=80=9D, cold, after fitting their =E2=
=80=9CFast Road=E2=80=9D cam.
=20
The rolling road guy said 0.016=E2=80=9D, warm.

 =C2=A0

I have the radiator out right now so I can get a nice socket onto that nut =
and have a go at the clearances.
=20
Stick with 0.015=E2=80=9D, cold?
