[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1285057, member: 3828"] My MO is that if one valve on a cam needs to be adjusted, might as well do them all and set them to mid-range (or slightly looser). All the work is in getting the cam out and back in without screwing up the timing. By adjusting them all to the 70th percentile of the spec range you will (hopefully) never have to do it again on that engine. It might be interesting to start another poll to see how many engines ever need a shim adjustment [I]a 2nd time[/I] once all are adjusted to mid range. [/QUOTE]
