Checking springs, with an indicator on the retainer

I've already moved the cam around to give me the most intake clearance, which has been the biggest problem, and still have around twice that amount of exhaust clearance.

Piston is .010 in the hole, spec is .004. I'm leaning on leaving the valves alone and using whatever gasket gives me the clearance needed. Those 2 together should give me the .035 Larry mentioned.

In hindsight, I should have gotten a smaller cam so I could keep some compression........
