large shim sizes

[higgyuk]

I do indeed remeber the valve clearances:

SHIMS (again)
Cylinder____Inlet_________Exhaust
1._________0.149"_______0.206"
2._________0.148"_______0.207"
3._________0.146"_______0.195"
4._________0.146"_______0.197"

Valve clearance check:
Cylinder____Inlet_________Exhaust
1._________0.005"_______0.009"
2._________0.006"_______0.010"
3._________0.005"_______0.010"
4._________0.006"_______0.010"

And this engine remains running perfectly...[/sounds good have built 2/3 tuned pre-crossflows, one 1600 1/2 race xflow -but the TC rules! higgy quote]

Saw the prob longer valves stems 70thou on the inlets compensate for the cam reprofile (metal removed from the heels)
many thanks to all higgyuK

I do indeed remeber the valve clearances:

buckets are STD 210 thou
inlet cam profile or should i say re-profiling has ground away the heels nearly to the shaft-requiring a lot more shim-could have been LONG stem inlet valves in the other head or the valve seats were cut deeper.
i still have to check the timing of this cam to make sure its the 35/85 i.e the INLET!the EX 79/41 seems to have not to have been ground as much --were getting there. higgy

deceided.
that swapping the VJ5`s into an apparantly ported and gasflowed head and re-conditioned block----might be less gain than the original vegantune engine re-simmed, re-gead gasketed and re timing chained see flowspeed
