BTW, I thought the spec for engines with sodium-filled exhaust valves was
0.006 intake, 0.008 exhaust?

I don't think stock VW engines have sodium filled valves ....... just the
Porsche. This is a stock engine.
The valves are not excessively loud ................ I just had to do a
double take because I expected Hydraulic lifters like 80-83.
While walking in my sleep recently at a wrecking yard I picked up a set
of Solid Lifters and Push rods for a 78 and just never thought before I
adjusted for hydraulics.
If I had used Boston Bob's techniques I'd been right on.
