If you bought bare new castings, especially from that era , you should NOT ASSuME they are ready to be assembled . Even the assembled ones from that era were a crapshoot my my single experience .




The ones I bought had oversize guides. When using the standard size valves stems we had .005" clearance. That's way too much.
