Well, so far so good. The exhaust valves had zero clearance but the intake valves were set properly. Warm engine last night, it made 80psi of compression. After adjusting the valves today it made 95psi of compression.
Since the bike has a built-in compression release, I'm hoping that the 95psi is simply where the compression release starts bleeding off pressure. Bike started easily. FAR more easily than it has ever started since the day I took it home, even though the battery was pretty run down from cranking the motor during the compression testing.
I have to take it out on a bunch of rides to see if I somehow avoided catastrophe. If it's reliable again... yay. If not... new head.
Charles.
