DoldGuy:
Johnny,
Make sure to chamfer the piston window also, as I had less than 4 hours on mine & could see wear marks in the new plating. Everything is looking good on your build & I am interested in your frame work as I have a chassis waiting for a transplant :-D

i'll bring you a set of feelers tomorrow Jon, I've got metric and Imperial.

I know wiseco wants it set at .013". And some say .016". Sorry. I don't work in metric...

Dont worry, Here in England we use both.

OK, so I must have missed something over the years, what is the doordie pin flip? Are you talking about on the KIPS flapper valve?
DoldGuy:
Yeap! Pull the pins and swap ends & reinsert. IMO the pins are cheap enough to just replace & I bought a new center valve & will fight with the old one later.
