Interesting,
Even looks like 4 valve heads. Too bad you can't really see
how the valve train was put together. (Shim over bucket,
shim under bucket or shim on valve stem.)


Cam on valve stem, no shim.


Really? Have another look.


Hmm, could be memory and/or eyesight playing tricks.

I do specifically remember reading the bit about grinding the end of the
stem to adjust clearances, but those twelve bits above and below the valve
springs do look like they could have a pair of "buckets" - is that the
technical term...

(some googling ensues)
