can spin the valves in their seats by holding the springs and
twizzling.setting the clearances ,the screwdriver on the rocker
was opening the valves without any effort. still runnning though

For quality work on old engines, Park engineering in malton,
north yorkshire takes some beating, rebores, crank grinds, etc,
they know what they talk about and can do the work to a standard
rarely found in this day
