    correct valve clearance

     



    I'm rebuilding my valvetrain on my 305 and want to be sure I have no coil bind on my valve springs. I have always heard that .030 was correct clearance but other say .050. It seemd that .030 would be to tight.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
