Valves never hit the dough. Used new lifters and did several rotations to get clearance to zero, adjusting more and more each time. Never came close. the dough is about 1/4 inch thick. You can see where the quench ledge squished part of it thin. The dough you see is how I patted it down before I bolted the head on. Wish I had a solid lifter to play with. I'd sleep better.
Just wondering if this much clearance is to be expected in this engine with this lift and zero deck. It would mean it should be easy to run much more lift than my .499" without clearance issues.
