There was a reference to checking piston to valve clearence , I always use clay for initial assembly because there is no way to know the radial clearance of the valve pocket by using the dial indicator method. if an engine has already been assembled and I'm installing a new cam or changing the ICL then the dial indicator method is appropiate.
