Bored,

While I’m not Pete I thought I’d share what I use. I use a tool made by Sioux that measure the exact distance from the lifter to the seat. I also have a gauge made by Kwik-Way that measures the exact valve stem length. I first use the Sioux gauge and measure the depth of all 16, and record the measurements. I then take a new set of valves and measure the new valve in the Kwik Way gauge and grind that exact amount plus my desired lash off in my valve grinder. I can usually grind all 16 valves and mark them and install and check and they are always spot on. Again I learned this from a master at this, Jay Temple. Sure makes a non adjustable valve job a breeze.

FYI . If you have a valve grinder with the 45 degree “v” attachment, with a lot of math you wouldn’t need the Kwik-Way stems length tool. Unfortunately my grinder lacks such a attachment.
