    Just Curious. Would Anyone Go Iron Heads, Instead Ofalum.(with Solid Roller) Just Because Of Expansion- Valve Adj. Issues? Nothin Sounds Worse Than A Valve Rattlin
    Have done iron heads on several motors with solid rollers. With iron the lsah closes .002" - .003" from cold to hot. If the lash is set correctly the vlave clatter is minimal in either case. Also today's cams have very soft lash ramps so the noise really isn't much more than hydraulics. Some cam mfg's offer tight lash cams the require hot lash settings as small as .010". I prefer a little more lash for insurance against burning a valve particularly on the exhaust.
