Default L92 valve to bore clearance

Has anyone measured valve to bore clearance on the L92 setup? - if so, what bore size did you measure on?

The L92's nominal bore size is 4.00". Exactly what measurement are you searching for?

Yes, valve "edge" to bore clearance @ 4.000" bore - I thought the nominal bore size for the L92 was 4.065"?

The valves aspect to the bore changes as it moves off the seat. The valves move toward the center of the cylinder and away from the bore edge as they leave the seat. Nearest I can tell the closest point of valve/bore distance is as follows:
The stock intake valve (2.160") leaves approx. .153" from the closest valve edge to the bore. The exhaust valve has a distance of .047" from valve edge to bore.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
