Right then peeps i have just fitted a kent PT40 cam and vernier pulley but my car is tapping its arse off just wondering if you set the tappets up when the car is warm or cold and what settings they are i have looked on the search button but there are two different setting some say 0.20 inlet and 0.40 exhaust and some say 0.30 exhaust and some say cold and some say warm just need to be clear because i am going to have a bash at it myself. Its for a 2001 vtr silver top 98 bhp model with a raceland ind kit and full magnex system and 4-1 manifold to go back on but i need to set the tappets up and wonder what cam timing is needed because it has 1degree of advanced timing on it any help will be repped and much appreciated:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping ::clapping::p:p:p:p:y::y::y::y::y::y:

as per Aid says, Id take the cam makers word for it on what the clearances should be, fuck everyone elses opinion.

so will the tappet setting be different with a cam in to a standard cam or should i just set them up to 0.20 inlet and 0.30 or 0.40 exhaust and should i do it when the engine is cold or warm
