I did with my original heads, but neglected to do that with the new LN heads. So I got out my bore scope and stuck it in the spark plug hole.

Here's the closest approach of the intake valve and the piston top.

While waiting on shim steel, I played with another distraction. I want to create a replacement layer for the engine side of the firewall. I started laying out a paper template.

Then I got out this roll of engine compartment insulation that I had been saving.

Or so I thought. At some time in the past, I cut a piece from the roll, and what is left is not long enough. Time to go shopping again.

Time to start another task:installing doors. Here is the left door shell, out of secure storage (aka my hall closet).

I decided to check the door fit before installing hardware. On the left side, the upper front sticks out too far, even with the hinge shoved all the way in.

Left rear alignment and gap is pretty good.

The right side is generally good. To be fussy the front gap is bigger than the rear gap.

After doing some "massaging" with a big hammer and wood block on the A-pillar, I think I moved the right door forward a bit.

On the left side, I elongated the upper hinge holes so the door top can shift inward.

The rear is sitting a little bit high, but I will address that later.

Now the fun starts rebuilding the doors. Here is all the window and lock hardware. I have duplicates from my replacement left door.
