Menno, IMHO it is better to have somewhat larger clearances than smaller ones.
Then the cooling is a bit better. That's what my dad taught me about 30
years ago...
With most B engines, clkearances large or small, the valve t rain is rather
audible anyway!
BTW the rockers on my 70 B are soooo terribly worn that it isn' t possible
any more to adjust them properly, i.e. from one revolution of the engine to
the next one you will find something quite different for the tappet
clearances. Has been the same as long as I own the car, 13 years now.
Not that I mind very much. It did not prevent me from making an 5500 km /
3500 mi. trip from Holland to Norway vice-versa last year...
