TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION:

so last night I was checking valve clearances and using the method of: if it fits that is the clearance, if it stops of the lobe and does not fit it does not fit. if it feels kinda of loose at one spec, but my next size does fit, it must be just over the smaller one.

reason for discussion:

I have heard everything from the above to it should have little to no resistance when sliding under the lobe. What do you recommend?

as for clearances, I am shooting for the loose end of the spec on the exhaust (.28mm or so) and the middle of the intake (.195 or so). This will help the exhaust valve with heat issues.
