Oh, and be sure to measure the wobble using a good dial indicator. The only way to know for sure what the clear is is to measure.Ed

For example, if your bike has 2.50 shims and you face the valves and machine new seats after replacing the guides (the seats must be cut if you replace the guides, lapping is no good) then you could easily be down to 2.40 afterwards, which doesn't leave you a whole lot of adjustment room for the future. In that instance I'd machine at least .005" off the valves, maybe more. Talk to your machinists and see what they say.

Lapping the seats with fine paste will ensure an even surface around the seat. However, when guides are replaced, the centreline of the new guide in relation to the old existing seat can change. Then a special cutter is used to remove more material than lapping will, to ensure a true centreline again.1981 GS850G "Blue Magic" (Bike Of The Month April 2009)
