Wow wow wow thank you for this. I’m rebuilding my ktm 625. It’s my first engine tear down and rebuild. I have looked in the service manual I can’t find any specs on P2V clearances. Any idea of how I could go about this. So I don’t have them bang into each other. I did order clay but need to know what’s the safe limit. Anyways so happy I found your channel thanks 🙏🏼
