Maybe in an old engine form the 1970's with push-rods in it,.. but not no ISX there chief!. Never seen it happen and I have done hundreds of them. -- The camshafts usually wear out faster than the top of the valve stems and/or cross-heads do.


Not sure if I would have gone with 0.029" on the exhaust valves myself. They already have good clearance for oil flow at 0.027". The 0.015" is fine though for the intake valves if your goal was to ensure good oil flow to them.
