This is a good point. Many more checks were done on the left side as that
was first and of course it was necessary to prove valve clearances and such.
On the left side I definitely put the straight edge (from the stomski sprocket
aligner) on it to prove cylinders were the same. I probably didn't do that on
the right side. Eyeballing underneath, all 6 look the same where there is a line
on each cylinder about a mm from the head, so I could get a good idea if things
were out by more than a few thou. But all looks good.
One thing I did, was when the dial indicator was still set on intake 4 valve and
on the overlap I figured I would torque the head nuts another 5 pounds or so
to see if that moved the sprocket, turned it slightly due to the taut chain, and therefore moved the valve. No movement at all. (removed and reset proper
torque then). So I'm sure that I'm not in the middle of compressing anything.
Note that I never separated the heads from the cam housings, and also the cam
moved freely. So unless there is some good idea I will move forward. Also I
found out when first apart that these heads have a chamfer, so probably none
of the area inside the CE ring is making contact, but the 84mm birals I took off
didn't seem to have a problem with that.
