I put the RAM heads on last Sunday and adjusted to .016" because that's what I got from the emails at that time (my manual says 10 and 14). Fired right up and runs great. I got all of my old parts back and there were no knurled guides and didn't look like there were any problems, had to check though. I will re-adjust the valves to .014" before I run it again. Thanks for clearing that up. Also interesting that there are no valve seals on the RAM guides. I asked Ron and he said the guides are hand honed to 1.5 thou clearance for matched pairs of valves/guides and don't need seals. gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Morelli" Subject: Stratus-List: Stratus Cams > --> Stratus-List message posted by: Bill Morelli > > I asked Mykal at Stratus if he is using a different cam than Reiner was > and his answer is no. > > So according to his cam guy, the valves should all be adjusted to .014" > > Regards, > Bill > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:49:52 PM PST US From: "The Meiste's" Subject: Stratus-List: Air Gap --> Stratus-List message posted by: "The Meiste's" Does anyone out there happen to know what the correct distributor air gap should be on the Stratus EA-81? I've asked Stratus but haven't gotten any reply yet.

I think mine is a Nippondenso and around an 84 For that it then calls for a .012 to .016 gap Looking at the entire list of gaps for various years and distributors, they are typically from .008 to .016 or from .012 to .020 My thought would be to take the middle road from that and set it to .014" That would cover every model listed. After I typed the above, I looked in the other Subaru manual I have and it says "Set the air gap to .014" which is within range for all Subaru breaker less ignitions" Hope this helps Regards, Bill >Does anyone out there happen to know what the correct distributor air gap >should be on the Stratus EA-81? >I've asked Stratus but haven't gotten any reply yet. >Thanks, > >Kelly >601 HD ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:14:55 PM PST US From: "The Meiste's" Subject: Re: Stratus-List: Air Gap --> Stratus-List message posted by: "The Meiste's" JUST got a reply from Mykal.................
