Valve length - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

SAM/CH ZR-1 · 12-17-2016

I measured by a 1990 head the with stock cams and lifters the lifter pre-load and got 0.097". With stage 1 cams the pre-load drop to 0.051"and with stage 2 to 0.025". To make the lifters work properly a minimum pre-load of 0.040-0.070" is required otherwise you can loose valve opening duration and get a noisy valve train. The situation become worse with the shorter 93-95 MY valves.
