Howdy, well, I'm running a piston/cam/valve at .060 piston clearance, and
with only 4 degrees that I can play with (2 degrees off of 0 ) without
running into expensive noise, and I already busted this engine 3 times and
pistons/rods/valves are expensive when added to the travel expenses and to
say nothing of the general collapse of morale when this happens... so I
check this stuff.
