I'm partially rebuilding the Z134 gas engine in my 30B (approximately a MF135). New pistons, rings, gaskets, and valves.
The new intake valves look just like the old ones. I probably should have gotten new valve stem lash caps, but the old ones fit fine and will get me started.
But the new exhaust valves are different than the old ones. The old ones had a hole in the top of the stem and a lash cap that resembles a thumbtack that fits in the hole.
The new exhaust valves don't have that hole, and their stems are noticeably longer than the intake valves. They sit at about the same height as the intake valves with the caps installed.
What should I be doing about caps for the new exhaust vales?
