After reading this post on the Griff forum:

Where can I find pre-load data, anyone?

Hi Phil,

The RPI website has a good guide to setting pre load, link below:

Solid ones need a 7 thou clearance at cold.

Many thanks guys.

Will keep both data for reference.

I have a Heinz 57 engine with Kent 'hybrid' cam and from several sources my SEAC was fitted with a Tuscan bottom end so not even sure of the cubic capacity. Did they not fit the 4.5 or and 5.0 to the first generation Tuscans?
