Setting valve lash 360 with W2 heads.

[Scott Bender]

I bought a car a few months back with a 360 with W2 heads and it has a radical solid roller cam in it. It has a valve lash chart mounted right on the firewall. I have no idea the amount of lash each Rocker should have. Does it vary alot from brand of cam? or is there a industry benchmark on how m

uch?

They have a lot of different settings.
Perhaps contact the previous owner or the grinder of the camshaft first.

That chart is the recommended method for setting lash.

Each cam grinder/company has there own lash settings that also vary from cam lobe to cam lobe series.

All of the MP ones are .028/.032, intake/exhaust IIRC.

check and see what it is set to now- write them all down
most will most likely be ok and you can set the few that are not, if any
post up your compression and motor specs and we can guess cam size
