Hi! I'm currently changing the shims for the valves because almost all was out of spec. I saw on youtube on a guy that did a trick with a zip tie to remove the shims and that worked out well. But now when i was gonna remove the ziptie that was holding the valve with some clearance i forgot to remove it and turned the engine by hand. i dont remember if i turned the engine to top dead center or if the piston touched the valve and bent it slightly. I didn't feel any difference while turning the engine but im just not sure if that bent it or not. Should I remove the cylinder head and look?
