Not moaning about your bits bro.... Moaning at the state of what is left of my engine you know how much of a tart I am when it comes to engines etc

Would love to know the tollerence though as it has sparked my interest

What I don't want is to build it and find it smokes like a bitch..

The Brit carrier Chilwell 63/63 doesn't mention it, only that the std stem dia. is 0.310" It might pay to check postwar specs. I would suggest one piece guides (which would require a change of valves as well) I have read a
clearance somewhere, and it's not very much either. You will need to use a good sealant, or you will have water coming up your head studs. You probably know the drill anyhow. send me an email, and I'll forward you some blurb.
