Hi all,

I bought a '79 CB750K a couple of weeks ago and have been looking at a couple of other forums. This one looks a lot more friendly.

Anyway, one of the other forums recommends nominal valve clearances to be set at .005" instead of the FSM recommended .003" and I thought I'd ask your collective opinion before starting.

Right now I've got a couple that I can't get a .0015 under, so it really needs it.

Thanks,
bob
