I recently put my front cylinder together and one of the exhaust valves has no clearance, I put a 135 shim in because that is all I had at the moment and still no clearance.

I am wondering how fast do valves burn out due to no clearance, if I need to ride 10km / day over the next week until I can get some smaller shims will the valve burn or melt.

thanks.
