The OBSERVED Valve Clearance thread
#18
I think there’s more room for making a critical sequence mistake, or damaging a part, or contaminating with dirt or a metal shaving whenever you do the high-skilled cam removal to adjust a shim that’s marginally out of clearance.
And nobody can set the motor better to spec than the builder at the factory in Japan. Especially if it’s your 1st time doing it on the CB1100. Which is also usually the case at a Honda dealer because they sell so few CB1100’s.
Change your oil often and don’t over rev it or over-heat it is the best way to maintain your valve clearance from the factory.
