the 1.94/1.6 valves where fitted with a really good machinist (the best in Peru) who use to work with the Peruvian Airforce and was an airplane engine mechanic. It is a really good job! including bronze guides and a 3 angle valve job.
I had double checked the valves adjustment in both ways, the cold one, assuring that each valve is in the correct part of the lobe, and the hod way, making a mess; in both cases 1/2 turn from zero lach.
Do you have a good way to check if a valve sticks open?
About the studs, you are right the same machinist that do the head job has replaced them.
Thanks for your help.
