[Healeys] County parts

[Mr. Bill]

Hi Gary,

I thought some of the Pros would answer this.  It's been a long time 
since I've built an engine but I'll answer it and if I'm wrong, I'm sure 
we'll hear about it :-)

IIRC you can tell a convex grind by looking at the tappet straight 
down.  The grind marks will be a circular swirl from the center point 
outwards.  Also, you can lay a straight edge across it and feel a slight 
teeter-totter rocking motion and see a bit of light under one side of 
the edge.
