Piston to Valve Clearance? I'm hoping I did this right. The car is an A4. The cam is a G5X3 on a 114 and my stock heads (with Fel-Pro gaskets) have been milled. How much they have been milled is unknown. With check springs, the stock rocker was tightened down so the 7.4 Thunder Racing push rods had 0 lash. Using feeler gauges the tightest clearance I measured was .086 on the intake valve and this was about 15* ATDC. The exhaust was always more then .1 so I was satisfied with that and never went any further.
I realize with those measurements I should be okay but I'm second guessing myself. What do you think? Do those measurements sound right for the cam and heads?
