Moving onto valve adjustment 77 gs750

[Steve]

I'm not sure how far less to go on my 0 clearance valves(smallest guage wouldnt fit).

To help determine whether you actually have ZERO clearance or merely something less than your smallest feeler, try spinning the bucket.
If it turns easily, you should be able to drop just one shim size. If it's hard, go for two sizes and hope.

I will once again extend the invitation to read the end of my sig and get the spreadsheet. It will help you determine shim sizes, keep track of them from one service interval to the next, and provide a log sheet area to record anything else you wish.

I did verify the buckets turned by hand so I think you're right. Emailed for the sheet. Thanks again

my real concern was with the looser one (0.0035). I got that when I swapped down 1 size, and was wondering if I should get an odd size shim for it.

I was curious about whether it is better to adjust the small ones preemptively, there are 4 that read 0.0015, and they are all on the 2-3 cylinders.

sorry if there was any confusion about my questions, im trying to learn this engine without it costing me a ton of money and/or frustration

It may be worth creating a new thread but basically the higher end of the tolerances are better for valve life. It will keep valves cooler which Steve already mentioned.

thats what I was wondering, thanks
