Getting the Wheeling Fever

I've been through this before, 25-30k miles ago.
Tell me what you think of this idea. The chain is too long because the cylinder head has been shaved below minimum specs. OR the cylinder head was replaced by a PO who put on a 22RE head. At the machine shop I saw two numbers yesterday 3.90-3.950' head thickness and 3.785'.

Does anybody have the factory manual for an '86 that would have the info? [img]http://[/img]
