Since the carbs are off I might as well check the valves. Even though there is less than 16K miles it is still worth the look-see I guess. I know when I have done the valves on several of my Toyota engines with bucket shims I just measured them, found the culprits (usually tighter as the valves recede into the head normally) and just ground them on my surface grinder here at work to a 16 finish. I grind the backside that fits into the tappet bucket and re-etch the finished dimension back into it. Saves a butt-load of time trying to hunt them down not to mention the time and money lost in acquiring new ones.
Anyone else done this?
