I think you've nailed it there. It could increase or decrease low end torque a bit dependant on cam profile. Guess I'll find out, though at such a small adjsutment, I doubt I'll notice anything.
Tomorrow it rains, so good day to do it, then wait overnight for the gasket shellac to dry on the valve cover gaskets.
ps: and it was quite a goof. 0.025 was the spec for Ford cams, not Crane, plus it was a "hot" spec and I used it cold. Poor ole Crane.....back in business I see, but only time will tell if they open production to their entire previous product line.
