checking valves gpz750

i've got the head off, just got some new seats cut and want to do the clearances..

can i do this without the head on the bike? like i assume i can just oil up the head, bolt the cams in and check the clearances by rotating the cam by hand?

im assuming alot of them will be out.
:woohoo:

Yup, might as well also lap the valves since you had the seats re-done.

Just do one cam at a time as to avoid bending any valves.

Use a screwdriver carefully leveraged up against the front and the back of the cylinder head to carefully turn the camshaft sprocket as you move from one valve to the next.
