Thanks for talking me into it MOB. 6 valves are out of spec and the rest are at minimum. Most have changed since the PO checked them. I am really glad I checked. Now to study up on cam removal.

tough call...
you mentioned talking to the OP, did he say he adjusted them, or merely inspected and those figures were what he measured at the time?
2 years, and 10k miles have been put on since that map you showed, and seeing as they only measured to 3 decimal places, who knows?
did they jamb a .005" feeler in and say it was .005", or was it a slip fit?
makes a big difference, especially with them all sitting at that low end on intakes.
the exhaust side looks ok, but then again, things change.
I used feeler stock and measured mine to 4 decimal places also
I did my initial inspection, and decided to stretch a bit longer, and when I did the second inspect about 8k later, the following spring, I had a substantial group of them that were at or below the min limits... which surprised me somewhat...
I you have the time, and a nice heated workspace, it's not a bad project... and come springtime you'll be ready to roll without interruption... for a god long time.
