My fiat project

[fiat218]

New valves came Saturday . I will deliver them personally

[fiat218]

my apology to beek
the valve was at the machine shop. i did delivery them, but when he said they where not there then i assumed that i never had them in the first place, so im sorry that i accuse you of not sending them

another question is this , i have marks cams . 410 f i . says on the boxes ( both )
now one cam has a gear on it.what side does it go on, he said he has never seen that so he called to find out
thanks

Cam with gear between 3 and 4 is the exhaust cam. Gear drives the distributor.

what do you mean between 3 and 4

[SoFlaFiat]

Sorry, too much info. The distributor sits towards the back of the exhaust cam box, between #3 and #4 cylinder.
In any case, if the cam has a gear on it, it is an exhaust cam.

ok thanks, he knew what you meant, i just wanted to know

What the valve lash ( I think that what he asked) on a cold engine

[joelittel]

If you bought cams from Mark the lash is written on the slip of paper that came with the cams.

It may be listed as clearance, and will probably have an intake and exhaust measurement.

Aftermarket cams do not have the same lash as stock cams.

Where do I find a select case of shims for my head

[seabeelt]

Jim, Buying a case of shims is really un necessary. Once you measure the gap, you can buy individual ones from AR. If you have an old head with shims, all you need is one to put in each location and gap the difference, then order the correct shims for all locations. Just be sure to write down where they go. r/

He wanted me to order a 2.55 and 3.00. So he can have a starting point ,so I have them coming

[So Cal Mark]

is this the same machinist that worked on Steve Mould's engine?

[fiat218]

Nope mark, one of his buddy's I believe did his, it wasn't the guy from crookston
But if my memory is right I thought he ordered his head from Vicks, I'm almost positive
