    it the same as checking the bearings with plastergauge, it dont have to be done, but you need to stop telling everybody how good a motor you build, because for what people are paying for them they're not getting their moneys worth.
    Mike,you really need to go back and read my other posts or have some one explain these things to you.Yes,I am able to tell how close the valve is to the piston.I run it until it touches the piston and subtract my gross valve lift from that number.That shows my clearance.Funny thing is this has worked for 15 or more years for me.I had two engines in modifieds that finished in the top ten in 2005 at the I.M.C.A. Supernatinals.There where over 500 cars there.Gee,I don't know.Two in the top ten.Not bad for a mid-western farm boy who does'nt know anything.I still would like some one to try and explain this to Mike.What we have here is a total lack of communication.What really is funny is you are the only one that is up-set about what I charge any I have never sold you anything.L.O.L.
