Oh boy, I sure hope I didn't start something here as my wife says I am always trying to 'reinvent the wheel'. Obviously 90 weight gear oil wont do but I think you could use any solvent type liquid to get a rough estimate. You want good tolerances but they are not race bikes (don't quote me on that one ;-))

Rich, Your leak down test sounds great. Can you use any kind of spray or do you have to use carb cleaner? Can you use any liquid like gasoline; just drip it on there and see if it seeps through? Just wondering because I just lapped my valves and I really don't know if the tolerances are close enough. Thanks, Bob Hawkes, 69 Ambo
