For Drew in the picture I estimate the valve to cam clearance was about 15cm's

Do you have a compression testing tool? The plan to borrow one fell through, so my next plan was to take it in to bikeworx in onekawa to get them to do it. I order a lot of parts through them, but haven't given them much busniess, I feel like I owe them.

My other plan was to buy one from SCA and then return it after I'd used it ($60 for a gauge and a check valve? no thanks.) but the girlfriend wasn't so happy with that plan.

Less chance you will be proven wrong that way too.

Oh man, look what I found, and example of an engine with return springs on the rocker arms! (Image attached)

Note also in the picture the rocker spring. I put them on that way round to keep the cam follower train protected from any shock loading caused by uptake of the rocker clearance on valve opening. Moto Parilla left them off race engines & I've seen them fitted the other way round too.

Will have to check what thread it has on it, I believe it's for an NGK D series though
Have you held it wide open in 5th and the cut the ignition and had a look at teh plug

Mhm, okay. You're clearly either a troll or a moron, so I'm done arguing with you.

I just think you are wrong. HTH
