Quote: I filled my valve relieves with clay on my last engine. Turn the crank over a few times, then measure the thickness of the clay where the valve hits it. You can do this without gasket too just to get a rough estimate. My engine never even touched the clay so I knew I was good. Hope that helps.
was doing exactly that last night, we had clipped a few valves so we looking for the touchy touchy bit but couldn't find any. guess we had valve float so new springs next season.
