Got out today and warmed the engine up and set the valve clearance down to 12 thousandths. That did lower some upper end noise. Not rattling but rather clicking. I figure with modern oil a couple thousandths slop would be better than a burned valve and shouldn’t cause mushrooming of the valve tips.
I can’t believe how easy the old B starts now. Even after warmed up refiring it was a breeze. I cannot wait to get the media blasting done! I may have a shop lined up to apply primer and paint, which needs done very soon after stripping.
