Curious, how do YOU check valve guides with the "wiggle" test?

Valve open.... but .020" is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay high for a good, reliable seal IMHO.

A useful question to ask, BTW.

I've never went into depth about checking valve guides. I focused so much on home porting here at this site. I want to open up the can of "knowledge" that is in abundance here on FABO, and I don't want it to be just me.

• So, how far out do you open the valve, and what do you find acceptable for valve "slop" moving the head side-to-side?
• P.S. - I was vague in saying "under .020"
