Valve height above head face

Post by 1962 model »

Hello all,
can anyone tell me the setting for the valve face above the cylinder head face, I have the seat specifications but I also need to ensure the valve to piston clearance is right to make sure there is not clearance issues.

Hope someone can help?

Mike

No specified distance in the workshop manual and repair data. Overhauled hundreds of those engines and cannot remember it ever being a problem. Even with the thin metal gasket used for a while on Power Majors.
