2. If valves or seats have been reground, check valve tip height (A) (Fig. 34). If valve tip height is greater than 43.65 mm (1.7185 inch) intake or 45.98 mm (1.8102 inch) exhaust, grind valve tip until within specifications. Make sure measurement is taken from cylinder head surface to the top of valve stem.
