This sounds like a push rod engine?

If so you should be OK with 0.002" to 0.003" on intake side, and 0.003" to 0.005" on the exhaust side. The extra gap on the hot side is to make sure that heat...

In stock

All three Templars are available right now- base, M, and X.
Prices have gone up as predicted by a couple hundred. X is still under, but just barely under $2000.
