Valve Clearances tightening

[pekingduck]

If it's in the range, it's within spec. But I think only a particularly conscientious tech would at least put the outliers a little closer, if not necessarily exactly in the center. You can do all the measurements correctly, and still, occasionally, one will not have the expected clearance, meaning you pull the cam again.

I remember adjusting my CBX valves - at least the cams didn't have to come out. I had a good stock of the "in-between" sizes that only came with bikes originally, and it took at least twice as long to get it "perfect".
