    how to adjust a/f ratio?

    timing seems to be fine, no problems it holds consistently, it has to be the smoothest running car I've ever owned, we double checked the timing on it after dropping the new engine in, b/c we had to replace the HG. could it be with ecu?

    Custom Valve shims

    Valve clearances...

    What is the maximum amount a valve can be out of spec. Intake is 0.008in Exhaust is 0.010in These are the exact specs.. if I'm 0.002in or 0.003in out of spec, Am I okay? The books don't give an answer to this question.
