Rookie move! Thanks all, I’ll keep you posted



You may get lucky as most of this mostly stock stuff has piston to valve clearance that can be measured with a yardstick.

Hopefully you get lucky.

Again, this is why you always degree the cam. Not only can there be errors in machining and tolerance stack up but there can be human error. If you degree the cam you eliminate all but the human error and reduce the human error to almost zero.


We can never eliminate human error. We are...human after all.
