Patrick are you thinking that they should be more than .014. These are adjustable valves and a touring cam.

i dont know how the seats look yet.

You might not have to pull the motor. Find a shop with a Neway cutter system. The cutters
can be used by hand to cut the seats. Even if you need to install new seats it can be done
with the engine in the car with a kwikway seat installer.

Yep. But it would probably depend on the camshaft. I don't know what 'touring' means. It would probably be different depending on the grinder. Ford recommended .022" for the Model B cam because of complaints of burnt valves.

Jim, At this stage I will go as far as I can with out having to pull the engine (again).
You might be able to have a shop come out and grind the seats in the car? Worth a try.
