a cam cap is not torqued to anything... :thinking: it just sits over the spring and valve and the cam rotates on top of it.

now if you're talking about the clearance between the cam cap and the cam when the valve is closed then thats different and they are measured in the 1/1000ths of an inch. if they were out of tolerance you would replace the shim on top of the cap with a thicker or thinner shim accordingly :2cents:
