Re: Piston to valve clearance.

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, here is why I asked.. On looking at my newly machined 516
heads( just enough head mill to clean up ) closed chamber-- replacing
open chamber heads, It appears that if the valve opens at approx.  .
484 lift, the valves will  touch the top of the stock piston.   I
haven't actually measured it yet, not sure how. Would you place a
straight edge  across the head surface at where the valves would be
closest to the piston and then measure closed valves to  top of piston
would have .484* clearance?  I don't want to assemble the valve-train
and install head on engine yet. ...............................MO
