Ian / Jac Mac.
Cam and followers are all new and have checked for all valve tops being level. One is .25 mm below the rest. Is that worth worrying about. I have modified my `best` older follower to solid and will make up an adjustable push rod to work out the correct push rod length re rocker to valve tops. This is all new to me as the last motor I pulled down was a 125cc YZC Yamaha so none of this valve stuff. So all the advice is greatly appreciated. I have also cleaned out and flowed the inlet / exhaust on the heads without going silly to help it breath a little better.
Cheers
