Today's task was to make the means of holding a dial gauge directly above the centre line of the valve stem so I could measure the time (in terms of crankshaft rotation) when maximum inlet valve lift was achieved.
I failed.
I made a means of holding the dial gauge but it was not directly in line with the valve stem (out by about 4 mm)
Tomorrow I will cut off the bridge that holds the dial gauge and re weld it about 4mm towards the centre line of the cylinder.
