palmer_starlet Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well ive got them all numbered so should be alright. Didn't want it sounding like a trator when i put t back together.cheers for the replies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If the valves were recut or relapped they will need reshimming as the valve heights will have changed but if you have gone to the expense of all that work why would you not check them if the heads off anyway?

Stu Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^ this.Even if you've numbered them it'll pay to check the clearances. Its worth the hour or so work to do it and get the shims right especially if you've gone to all that effort Quote Link to post Share on other sites
