1972 Dodge Colt
Hey Charrlie_S, it is close. Close.
With the cam installed like I had for last year, advanced, it was like .025 on the intake.
That was no lash and no head gasket.
Course that was one of the heads that did not work for a bunch of reasons.
With this head I have now (2206035-1) I have .050 with no lash or head gasket.
Soo with a shim gasket and .018 lash I have more.
And you know intake clearance is not as critical as the piston is moving away from the valve.
I have .185 on the exhaust.
I only shaved this head .050.
The block was shaved .090 years ago.
TRW forged flat tops, .060.
And you can't see it in the pictures but there are a couple of notches from missed gears!
That was before the Rev Limiter.
Same loose nut shifting gears.
