The sure fire way to find out is to clay the pistons, setup the heads, set the valve train and than slowly spin the motor over. Than you measure the imprint in the clay to determine the clearance. Takes a good amount of time but is better than smacking valves on fire up. [ April 29, 2004, 02:33 AM: Message edited by: mtbaughs ] -------------------- R.I.P.
