Roller Camshaft Thrust Clearance

[86 TR]

What kind of thrust clearance are you guys running for roller cams. I have the comp. austempered roller 210-215. Some people are telling me .010, others say tighter. I have a adjustable cam stop that come with my cam from full throttle.

Whats the best way to set this clearance? Dial indicator gauge?? Im sure it won't be right the first time and I will have to keep taking the timing cover off to get it right!

.010 is fine, if the engine is on a stand put a dial indicator through the rear cam plug put the cover on measure the thrust and add or subtract to get to where you need to be should only need to pull it off once.
