I didn't get anything done yesterday. (Some days I could just strangle some employees.) I checked the clearance of #3 exhaust valve at 10° BTDC on the exhaust/intake stroke of #3. With the dial indicator I have .765" clearance between the exhaust valve and the piston.* I again checked the cam timing at #1 and it is just where I set it. 31° BTDC @ .050. I again checked the cam timing at #3 It is the same as #1 as far as the intake and exhaust opening and closing.
Ed, I know, Not sure that I said my answer correct. Anyway sorry for any miss communitactions. The valve springs I used are Crane Part # 96848 and I also used the Crane rtoller lifters Part # 13552-16. I like keeping everything matched if possible. With the clearance I have between the valves and pistons, I don't think it is a clearance problem. Will look at the valve train componets tomorrow. Still not sure what I am looking for.
* I had to check back in my notes to see why I put so much clearance in the combustion chambers, but when I had the combustion chambers layed back, I was using 50cc domes. I am now using 42cc domes, which accounts for all the clearance between valves and pistons.
Still looking for any ideas,
thanks,
