As I noted:

When I first obtained the Austin Seven Standard Sports/Latrobe, the engine. which had been rebuilt twenty years abo by renowned Club expert the late Bob Booth, had stood for ten years. 
All the exhaust valves were stuck. After an engine rebuild with new exhaust valves and guides plus a bore hone the car ran well.

When I asked Bob about his valve stem clearances he agreed they were too tight  Smile
