joe, are you wondering how to do a valve adjustment or what the valve lash must be? The process is the same as for stock cams. The lash, however, should be set to .007-inch on the intake side and .008-inch on the exhaust side while the engine is cold. The specs are the same whether you have B-series or H-series cams since you didn't specify that.
