So I've got my motor pretty much complete after a full tear down and I've run in to a snag setting the valve clearances.
If I loosen the valve clearance adjusters the motor turns over freely no problem. If I try to set the valves to tolerance by tightening them (LT) first, then (RT). The LH intake valve hits the piston and prevents me from turning the motor over.
I can see inside the head and the pistons are facing the correct direction (the arrow).
It's hard to get feelers in under the rockers, but I'm pretty sure I am using the right sizes.
