If the valve lash is excessive, say 10 thousands or so what can be damaged other than the stem seals?

10 thousandths of what?
10 thousandths of an INCH is WAAYYY too much, most of us don't go over FOUR.
If you actually mean 10 hundredths of a millimeter, that's OK.

.010 inches??? Wow!
Won't hurt the valve seals. Might hurt the engine. Could spit out a valve shim, could crack a shim, maybe mushroom the end of the valve. Dunno what would happen, but that's .254mm, over three times the recomended maximum clearance of .08mm.
A lot of us use .10mm as a max, but that's still 2.5 times as much as that.
I wouldn't run it.Comment
