Re: Piston to valve clearance: Thunder 230 cam Also, these are just the numbers we came up with. It is always a good idea to check the clearance in your specific case. Even though the porter/machine shop were told to mill your heads 15 thousandths, you never know if they actually took off more/less. When in doubt, always measure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> It takes literally less than 30 minutes to do with the proper tools.
