Valves
Some of my exhaust valves are running .012 do you think that is close enough or shouldI have the valve stems ground down. If I need to what kind of grinder can I buy to do that

Re: Valves
.010" on intakes isn't too bad, could stand to be a bit looser though.
.20" on the exhaust is crazy loose ! Grinding the stems won't help. There is something drastically wrong like bad camshaft, bad lifters. Unless .20" is just a misprint. Grinding the stem loosens things more. I'm assuming the lifters are original style. Last edited by Patrick L.; 09-26-2021 at 10:13 AM. |

Re: Valves
.010" on the intakes is a bit tight but won't cause any damage because they run cooler than exhausts.
