·Hey Rally Bob
In one of the other posts you said that the maximum lift for a stock valve train is about .430". I measured a cam today that had .436" lift. (It is the cam I emailed you about.) When I checked for coil bind or the retainer hitting the valve guide there was tons of clearance. Have I gotten a weird head? (It is a "early" 4 bearing head.) Or, is there some other limitation (like valve toss) with the stock springs? By the way, this engine is using forged pistons with extra valve/piston clearance so that is not a problem.
I'm posting this so everyone can see the answer.
Thanks (again) in advance
