Default Re: Valve Adjustment

All my old valves had the stems cut down. Before doing valve job, I adjusted Al lifters down to bottom. Ground 3 angle seats and installed new valves and lapped in. I use the plus 9 method for valve adjust. Clearance before adjusting valves as noted. After adjusting all valves to.015 a couple lifters only have .010 left before they bottom out. The stems I ground allowed for. 050 extra for further adjustment if needed. Usually clearance gets larger with wear. Just wandered if I should give the2 valves a stem grind or let go.
