Much tighter. What I have will work. Didn't have to plastigage them. All clearances were tighter. Had to adjust six valves. More to come.

It's a wonder it ran as well as it did.

Idles better, less noise, less vibration and runs smoother.

Gotta tip my valves so I checked out the other head. Looks like I can tip them and do it all at one time. B)

It's been 6 months. Was hoping to get more time but no way Jose. Time to pull the head off. I have that one piece Z1 head gasket and the one that's on it now so I will have my choice without having to buy a new one. Should be able to install my HD studs and maybe cure the base gasket leak. Maybe.
