Default 70 Z28 LT-1 Cam questions

Just trying to set the valve lash on my 70 Z28 LT-1 solid cam. I think .024" Int and .028" Ex is pretty close. Anyone know the exact dim's? Thanks,

Paul

I asked this question becuase John Z on the CRG has a procedure for setting the lash on the 30/30 cam cold.

I used the method that Rob is talking about by John Z. I am very pleased with the results.

You are splitting hairs here. 24/28 is correct. We made mine 28 across or 26 across and the car ran fine! Factory is 24/28. Sam
