    as you all said the valves were tight ... real tight .. after pulling out all shims i still couldent get the .06 feeler in . looks like im ordering valves .... my only concern is the pitting on the outside of the valve seat . do you think its going to cause a problem with seating a new valve ?

    Why did you pull the head? You can adjust the valves with the motor in the machine. If you pulled it since you know you need a valve job, that's alright though.

    i pulled the head because the valves were way to tight without shims .. so the valves need to be replaced

    "after pulling out all shims i still couldent get the .06 feeler in"

    The engine needs to be at TDC on the compression stroke when checking/setting the valve lash. There is a T on the flywheel that you need to line up with the notch in the crank case in order to be there.

    Correct

    As others have said, they should be "tight", but this simply means that they should have little valve lash: ideally, 0.06".

    well the problem is its .006" not .06", you should never be able to get that .06" feeler in. Hopefully that makes a bit of a difference.
