273 questions...a few of them

Hey Del, Im gonna try to get a spring off Saturday, so that maybe we can try the old keepers. Here is a thought about the keepers...seeing as how the new keepers went into the exhaust valves only, and they seem to be sitting up higher than the intakes, what if I put pushrods only in the intakes, set the intake valves according to the chart you posted....skipping the exhaust. If we can get all the intakes set then I would say the problem lies within the exhaust.... I will chk on installed height spec, as well as actual height. I dont have a dial indicator, so what do you mean by "try fit" feeler gauge, we are hoping to keep the heads on the block.

Same pushrods, and they are same height in old and new lifters
Stock rockers

Once we get the new pushrods, we will chk out everything you mentioned.

thanks
Steve
