General Question About Piston to Valve Clearance
« on: April 06, 2010, 02:41:32 PM »
Rebuilding the engine in my '77 CB550F and decided to check the Piston to Valve Clearance since the head has been shaved and I'm using aftermarket pistons and a mild street cam from WebCams.  I think my intake valves are way to close..about .017 in. if I'm reading correctly.  The exhaust valves seem fine.  I was hoping someone could chime in and tell me if I'm reading this right.  I believe I should have a minimum of .040 in.
