Wow, that made a difference. THANKS! I measured 0.28mm intake and 0.30mm


exhaust. So that sounds like too loose rather than too tight, on this
side at least.

Just follow those tappet adjustment instructions to tighten up?

Thanks,

AJ, Once you get the valves set prior to tightening, make sure you hold
the adjuster pin in the same exact position when you tighten down the
nut. They tend to move when you tighten, and it will throw off your
valve clearances. Recheck it to make sure, if it changes loosten the nut
and try again. As I recall, re-tourque the heads (BEFORE valves
adjusted) to about 25-30 ft.lbs. Including the hex nut below the cap on
top (12 O'clock). You need to remove the rocker arms to get to that one.
