If there is interference then there are 2 solutions, Either I keep the standard gasket and go for the bigger valves or else go for the thinner head gasket and keep the standard valves which according ...

Thanks Stef, I will just have to wait for someone to work it out then. I cant find anything about clearances on the Haynes book either or else I have skipped it somewhere. It wont be worth it if I hav ...
