Pinto valve clearance impossible
Hi,
I'm not really mechanically minded but I can follow a Haynes manual.
I'm putting together the pinto from my cortina and am rebuilding the head...new camshaft, new rockers but I can't achieve any valve clearance whatsoever with the adjusting bolts at any position. Has anyone encountered this and if so what's the course of action....taking the rockers to be machined?
Thanks

It sounds like something is not right or being done right if you have standard parts and cannot match up to Haynes?

It should be simple
I agree, should be simple but all of my adjusters are set for maximum clearance and I have nothing....could it be that I've been sent a non-standard camshaft?
