Yes, I understand that. However I am hoping that the new valves will be long enough to allow for grinding to the proper length to provide the correct lash. I will know better once I get the car out of winter storage this month and test fit the new valves. If this doesn't work out, I realize that the only proper solution will be adjustable lifters. Just hoping to avoid taking the motor out and eating into my summer driving season. My real question was simply how to best shorten the new valves if they are long enough to accommodate this.
