curious about valve lash setting/check

just want to thank all for the help-'thank you'. haven't had time to get out there since Thursday night. the last two days were spent helping a friend. I only have a few 'friends', so when they call, I help, and vise versa (the few are golden, AND, they put up with me). you might like this though....I was taking cabinets out to his place whenever I could get them from work. took a while, trying to get proper sizes. he asked if we could clean out the corner (that's a job in itself) and get them installed because they were taking up needed room. so Friday and Saturday were spent at his place. here's the outcome. I'll get back to the car today if nothing else pops up. View attachment 1715427825
