Found this on web (by billzilla)

Quote:"You dummy-assemble the engine, (just one cylinder will do) with plasticine on the piston tops and lightly cover the top of the plasticine with oil so the valves don't stick.
Then turn the engine over slowly by hand, then pull it apart again. Section the plasticine to see how far the valves have pushed into it. You typically need a good 0.060" or 1.5mm to be sure it'll all clear okay."
