Unfortunatly, Yes they did make contact when I was performing my piston/valve clearance check. I stupidly did the quick check of screwing down the adjuster nut and rotating the engine (slowly by hand + wrench) and feeling for resistance. I thought felt a very slight resistance (felt like the cam was pushing down another valve), it did however move past that point very easly. But I did a double check and found there was clearance issue (0.2mm). I didn't think(secretly hoping) that this would do any damage or bend a valve. Am I wrong?
Assuming this is the problem, will I need to replace the valve guide as well (these were all just replaced in the rebuild)?
