Valve Clearance on Larger Camshaft and Flat Top Pistons

You are the disconnect.

You equivocate like a pro.

The OP asked about checking p/v. Do you that with a running engine?

Try again. I hope the mods are watching your passive aggressive bullshit and you again are ******* up a thread and confusing people.

Answer the question or **** off.
I'll take that as "not a running engine". I wasn't sure since you have covered a lot of ground in this thread. I'll pop a couple of springs off a motor and set it up with pictures. Probably tomorrow nightish. Don't hold me to that time frame.
