So The valves are all happy now. Some of the clearances were near zero to begin with.
Got the top of the motor back on, and the radiator installed. Decided to leave off the California emissions vacuum lines. Installed the gas tank and turned on the gas. There is a drip of fuel from the intake tube, labeled HOLDER-CARBURETOR 16065-1156 in the parts catalog.
This is horribly frustrating seeing how we could not detect any leaking there before. AND THE CARBS WERE JUST REBUILT BY Ducatiman ! I think I might have added 5 miles to them before taking it apart to do the valves.
