lukEp Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) If there to tight, when it's up to temperature the valve will stay open ever so slightly due to expansion. They need to be within the tolerance stated. If to tight you will loose power if to loose it will be tappy and you will loose power.Lucky your on the tight end of the scale so you need to take the buckets off and take a small amount off the top to the valve to lower the bucket to give you more clearance. Do it a tiny bit at at time and keep checking it's a long process but it will be right. Edited September 27, 2015 by lukEp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I have 16 shims spare from another engine so might have a measure up and see if I can drop all the intake side down and some of the exhaust.I know there all tight but luckily not to far out.
