Knowing all the while that the cam wear may be greater than the precision of
either measurement technique. :-P This all feels to me like using a micrometer
to select which pipe wrench to use. I have ALWAYS set valve clearances on
dead-cold engines; all marques, all years.
And yes, I have an LBC again - as was expected. I now own a 1962 Triumph TR3b.
72nd from the end of TR3 production. It is a superb specimen.
