Definitely need a steady hand not to eat into the valve seats !!!
It's a but crude, but I got a small length of metal, cut and filed it down to whatever width I wanted with a point on the end and just used that as a guide. Not 100% accurate but got me close enough to where I could accurately get it. Got a couple of CitroenSport docs with measurements on them so gave me a rough idea of the max I could go width wise with it (never even got near them tbh !!)
Really need to invest in some accurate measuring tools, might treat myself for this engine build so I can measure it all up myself during the day as opposed to borrowing them from my brother (he needs them for work during the day)
Got some micrometers, feelers and a dial gauge - suppose just need a good vernier (digital?) ?
I don't know about colour tbh, might leave it for now as it's doing no harm, and sort the colour out later on. I plan on getting some parts powdercoater matt black, so might see how much to put the purple parts in and get them done too - all ideas at the mo until I get stuck into it !
