I was thinking maybe it has a 'B' cam and they were set at .022" [or more] at the rebuild.

This engine was done in stages in the 1960's. New rod and main bearings done by an old time machinist, engine bored and new pistons and rings (.125 o.s.) installed a couple of years later at an engine rebuilder's. I did final assembly myself but at this point can't remember if or how I set the valves. I know I replaced a few broken valve guides, probably with used ones that I had on hand and I think I lapped the valves in by hand. No indication that it has a B cam. It was just an old worn out motor when I pulled it out of a 29 Tudor back in the day. I'll see what happens when I go at it later in the month.
