ok this is weird to me, i have a tapping noise in my motor after changing cams and springs, ive done this about 3 months ago, when i first fired her up she had one hella noise, i checked the gaps between the cams and tappets and two were way off then, i but the new shims in and rechecked them again that was about 3 weeks ago it was about 50 degrees, there was one that had no gap at all, today 30 degrees, i check them again to make sure what shims i needed to order, well today the one that had no gap now has .004" could the weather being 20 degrees cooler make that big of a difference, what is going on here, im lost and not really knowing what to do
thanks

Whenever I check clearance, I always turn the crank at least two full revolutions before stopping at tdc and locking it. This insures that all buckets at tightly against the shims and stems before I start, whether its shim over or shim-under bucket.
Ron Wood reccomends .007-.009 clearance, apposed to the shop manual. I shoot for the high side, rather have a couple extra than not enough.
