I checked my valve clearances. The intakes, and decompressor were right on. The exhaust valve on the decomp. side was a little tight but i could still fit this feeler gauge ( .009-.011) ( .229mm - .279mm) under it with a little more drag than the other exhaust valve. I have rougly 10-13 hrs on my machine and i figured it was time to check the clearances after breakin, they seem to be ok but i can definatly tell that one exhaust valve is a little tighter than the other but not by much. I think there is +/- .002 on the clearances but im not 100% sure. Could anyone give me some input on whether or not i should shim yet or if I will be in good shape for a while? The motor is running strong and starts very easily. Any input would be appreciated, thanx.
