should valves rotate ?
I got the LSM on head spring tester and they were all between 210-220 lbs. on the seat.
I was looking for consistency , rather than an actual value.......they are supposed to be 240 on the seat , so I will see about testing the tester now. It is easy to get a different reading using this tool , so I tried to get the same position on the rocker and the same pull when I checked them.
The guy who set the heads up said he used the retainers for each valve when he set installed height and we kicked it around a bit.
My best guess is that I probably floated them while doing a little spirited driving around the house.
I have not been able to get the car to hook on the street and that led to some monstrous burnouts........not much better than revving the engine in neutral.
I didn't spin the motor that hard.....I am fairly certain it hasn't been north of 8000 , but with no load to speak of , it will behave differently.
The valve in question was .004 looser than the rest.
I re-installed the rocker arms and shot for .024 clearance ( was .026 before ).....using .006 for growth left me spot on last year.
I have a test day on the 16th and I will take another look after that.
For now , the consensus is drive it and keep an eye on things.
