Very good comment Terry, could not agree more.
In answer to jfro's question on tight valves i remembered a video from a kiwi nearby which i don't know but have watched some other video's in the past, he is a teacher/mechanic according to his video's and in this one he measures and then adjusts an engine with one intake valve that has less than zero clearance, notice also when and why he removes the cam chain tensioner;

Also read the comments and answers, some more good info there.
Since i am not a mechanic but have always worked on all my vehicles and am somehow fascinated by valve shimming i don't feel i am qualified to advice too much help but instead point to video's that i feel are correct and helpful to some of us, it is forums like these that provide the knowledge and info that enables us to work with more confidence on our machines and know the job has been done correctly, my thanks to all who made their experience available on this forum
