I checked the valve clearance because I supposed that the cylinder 3 Inlet valve clearance was too close.
I disassembled the cylinder head cover and I found a unexpected situation.
The valve clearance of the cylinder 3 was OK and I found 3 valve clearance too close.
Cylinder 1 Exhaust : right .102mm, left: .127 (.15-.20)
Cylinder 2 Exhaust : right .178mm, left: .152 (OK)
Cylinder 3 Exhaust : right .178mm, left: .152 (OK)

Cylinder 1 Inlet : right is less than .102mm, left: .102 (.10-.15)
Cylinder 2 Inlet : right .102mm, left: .102 (OK)
Cylinder 3 Inlet : right .127mm, left: .127 (OK)

The camshafts had some blue (OEM) signs. I posted a photo on my album.
All parts seems to be in stock then I will adjust the valve and I will focus on the carburetor and ignition for solving the black spark plug on cylinder 3.
For adjusting the valve clearance I need 2 valve shims of 2.70mm and 1 shim of 2.60 mm
I don't found any valve shims seller having the shims in stock but I found this website for buying them:

I had some trouble with the camshaft bolts. The T30 socket seems to be little bit small and the T35 doesn't fit.
I will have some trouble also for tighten the bolts under the frame body booster because the T30 socket is too tall and I don't have enough space for the torque wrench.
Consequently I should replace the bolts with standard stainless steel Hex bolts.
Can I replace them or there will be some temperature/dilatation problem ?

Thank you very much for the support gave me until now.
