Cam Install Question

View attachment 1715340770 As accurately as I can measure, it looks like I have .140” between exhaust valve and piston with head on a “.028” gasket and head bolts snugged down till I get a bit of resistance with a socket. The gasket measures .035-.038” thick not compressed. Somewhat hard to measure the clay and not cause an indentation with the caliper.

How does this look for clearance? Seems I should be OK, correct?


That's plenty of clearance but the intake looks like it's damn close on radial clearance on the intake valve.

Also, did you do that with checker springs or the springs you will run. It makes a difference. If you used checking springs, you've got way more clearance than you think.
