The rocker shaft looks to be pitted, corroded or poorly machined, maybe worn from the spring rubbing on it.

I think he might be talking about procedure where the feeler might be binding and a different aproach might give a different reading

Really you don't measure valve lash at the valve on these? Never worked on one just on my gas toys.

it depends on bridge type,if it is hinge type bridge,it is adjusted at valve

I dunno, .025" (cold) seems like a lot to have found upon initial open-up, especially since that is the lash BETWEEN what appears to be two intake valves.

What I can't figure out is how that bridge arm keeps from rotating unless the valve stems recess up into the ends of the bridge.

Unless it's what everybody else is suggesting (incorrect feeler gauge) I'm stumped.

How 'bout that Gene, confused us all and didn't even use a graph or flow sheet.

I think the problem is he started to set the lash and the wind picked up , so he closed it up and drove it to the dealer with the feeler gauge still inside. I could be wrong cause I'm just the new guy here
