Thanks much - that's exactly what is causing the difference now that I look at the engine. Would it be best to flycut .010 off the right head and .040 off the left head for valve clearance or the same on both sides? That would give me over .050 valve clearance once the gasket is torqued down. I believe the piston clearance would be good as is but can use all the advice I can get. Yup - this is just a run about engine that will probably be babied too much.....................
