Default Re: Engine Problem

I believe the "J" series threads are ok for clearance...actually a bit shorter than the correct H10 Champion threads...BUT the "Y" suffix means extended tip and that may be a problem as the valve opens enough to hit.
Are the Autolite 216's being hit as well? They should be ok with a stock head unless the cam has a LOT of lift.
