    Well you have found the problem Snowy so that’s good. From experience and I hope I am wrong with yours but once shimmed I doubt you will get 15hrs out of the valves before they close again. I have seen it a few times, Nickj’s for example, STM’s there has been a few. Valves will need replacing then, good news is set of kibble white valves and a seat service and it will last a long time. DONT LAP THE NEW VALVES IN. I did NickJ’s must be 80 hrs ago (Nick?) no more shimming. Nick at Tekniks did his head, did big Al’s head good job and cheap. You don’t need all the springs and crap they say we have proved that. We have proved you don’t need special seats and 1000 dollar head services. You can send the head to Tekniks or ring Nick I am sure he will help with some advice.
    Nick @ Tekniks has a lot of CRF experience including some testing I think around the bikes and pre their release in Aus they saw air filter testing etc back then. Standard air filters and good filter oil, only Bel Ray or Motul is the go, filters need washing a few times, then hot soapy water and dried out and then blown out with low pressure air when dry. An old clothes dryer is the trick actually. They help blow and bounce the remaining dust out when dry. Try tapping one you think you have cleaned out when it’s dry on a piece of glass. The CRF won’t tolerate that dust like most bikes will it seems.

    This thread will help and remember Nick was doing the heads cheap if you pull it of there and send it. If you had it done there he would also help with parts etc I am sure

    Good luck
