The intake valve are a bit closer to the cylinder than the exhaust, butr pretty similar...maybe 2mm clearance? Way, WAY back when I was trying to get the heads to fit the top row of head bolts I want to save, but keeping them as-is meant moving the head 2mm lower than factory.....hmmmmm the means bigger intakes will fit! Then the bore went from 81mm to 86mm and that means all the valve can get bigger.....and 14 year later here we are
Blue the mains

Lapping bar in....hmmmm... sure looks like only the 3 center bearings are toughing...that is the direction the block was wrapped after welding but I thought it had been corrected, only mostly corrected it appears

and straight, ready to start the caps and that only took about 1.5 hour including the bucket retainers and adding a handle to the lapping bar.
