I measured with no seal then subtracted that from my measured distance. No biggie. Heck, if you had posted this sooner I'd shi you mine to use. It's done iirc 8 sets lol.
How you been?

I didn't rock the engine when I did mine I dont think. The drivers rear few are a challenge tho for sure.
kn the springs just fake your time and turn the engine over so each piston is up on the cylinder you are working on. Then it's no biggie that valve can go anywhere.
Glenn, I'm wore out sir. Still so much to do. It can be challenging to sit and relax but I'm trying lol.

August I'll be 70 and I'm still trying to learn to relax, lol. I sit down for a few minutes and I have to get up and go do something. Today I dragged out Patty's first car from storage, a 68 Buick Skylark. I cleaned it up, what a mess. The plates say 91 but it still runs. Sit around long enough I'll rebuild that 61 Ranchero!
