Valve Clearance on Larger Camshaft and Flat Top Pistons

So tell me, how do you get an accurate reading from clay? Do you jam a caliper depth gauge into it with a flashlight and eyeball the reading? Do you peel it off and hope you haven't changed it? Then measure it with a caliper hoping you haven't compressed it?

Yup. I can measure clay.

This is why I constantly have to cover the same ****.

The way you teach makes everything show LESS clearance than you actually have.

The way you do it you don’t have a clue what the actual clearance is.

You can bet on that.
