I finally got the chance to take off the valve cover and check the valve lash clearances and I noticed a strange consistency with my measurements.

The one valve was too tight for the smallest feeler gauge which was .004.

That #2 cylinder seemed especially low,

So the question is where can I by oversize valves ? UPDATE: I have found these valves for my engine: http://datsunspirit.com/shop/dsi-big-valves/ But the stem length is to long for my use, needs to be original length. Other than that they would have been perfect. and http://www.ferrea.com Wish thay had 1,5mm exh. valves Anyplase else that I sho
