Gixer1460 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I'm not sure why they are so wide compared to 'tappet' types ie. have a, twice as wide allowance, compared and as a result are noisy as 'marbles in a tin can' Drove me mad so I used the 'tappet' bottom end settings! 1 Quote Link to comment

Possibly so people didn't have to change shims as often ? Maybe not , but if they expected the engine to be ragged mercilessly then maybe they expected some valve seat recession from the hammering closing the clearance, meh, who knows ?
