Yes.. .012-.015 and I thought tight, Johnson lifters told me .008-.015 is sweet spot ... So I didn't mess with it, lifters are free moving I pulled a couple valves seem like not much clearance there, but the shop has to measure...

God FF - that makes me sick. I just got my second one fired off the other night and am so nervous something like this could happen in the first few hours. Good luck man, you've got my sympathies....

If you have 1 piece rear main seals and end up being able to just replace 1 piston and fix the head, check make sure it didn't push the seal out. I've had that happen what a mess lol
