    Get some feeler gauges and check yourself- shops don't really like these old things. Hopefully, you'll find that someone set clearances too large, not believing the factory specs.

      Had the bike taken to a local mechanic, he said there is little no clearance of the valves, he said this would just make it difficult to start, he thinks it's little ends.... He will be taking head off in the next few days..

        You need a real mechanic, this guy doesn't know Jack. DON'T let this jerk-off take the head off!

            Sadly he now tells me that two big ends are gone.... Not sure if I've been mugged off 😞
