[Shotimes] valve clearance questions

[Ian Fisher]

clearances by taking the appropriate amount off of the
stems. This was part of the head rebuild/valve job.
When I asked the list about doing this vs. using the
traditional shim method, I was told that it was not a
good idea....

I guess find out soon enough...
