==Overview==
The valve train is one of the most important segments of any engine build. There can be no destructive contact/collision between any part of the reciprocating assembly and the valve train. And contact between any castings and the valve train has to also be avoided. Clearances have to be established and checked to be sufficient with the engine under operation up to its design limit.

The valve train is one of the most important segments of any engine build. Obviously there can be no destructive contact/collision between any part of the reciprocating assembly or engine castings and the valve train. Besides avoiding physical contact, there are also minimum and maximum clearances that have to be established and checked to be sufficient.
