Install and Break In Procedures for New Camshaft Help

I got as far as replacing the valve springs. The dual valve springs are out, and the matching valve springs for the XE268H are in.

I had to reuse my locks because they were single groove. The locks I bought had 4 grooves. Now I have locks I don't need.

Here's some pics. The valve springs in the pictures are the previous dual spring valve springs. In some of the pics you'll see my homemade valve spring compressor. Worked great after I modified it a bit. I call it "Joey's Valve Spring Compressor version 2".

The pushrod length worries me. I tested the length by installing the hydraulic lifter on the solid cam. Of course, once I put the XE268H in, I'll check again.
