How'd those wrenches work out? Seems, upon initial observation, that he did a nice job with them. Did you need to grind one of them?
Okay wise guy . . . after I bought a couple 27mm sockets you have to spoil my accomplishment by telling me I could have used one I already had.

Those wrenches worked great. Grind one . As I read that part of your post outloud I was told the expression on my face was headed toward horror!! Guess I had better not play poker . . .

They worked great as I expected. If I remember correctly number 11 (cyl 6's exhaust valve) was the only one where there was some interference. Still worked. I almost e-mailed you once I got started. Did them cold and all but one were too tight to get either the 0.10mm (intake) and 0.35mm (exhaust) in.
