Valve Clearance Issue 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Thu Feb 17 06:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I'm rebuilding a B21F cylinder head. The valve seats and margins needed grinding. When I reassembled the head, I had zero valve clearance on 4 of the valves. I cut the valve stems by .02", but still had no clearance. Bentley says that the maximum I can cut the valve stems is .02" What would happen if I cut the valve stems more than .02"? Besides adding thinner shims, is there anything else I can do to fix this situation? Thanks in advance!
