New 408 build finally started

Ya I’m at 1.300. Would I have had to go that far? No but it sure let me do nice things to the curved wall. Checking with some shims and the lockring I moved the rocker over .283. Minus the .050 shim I usually have in there for adjusting app .230 needed. That’s where I started and now I will back it down to see how tight I can go before rubbing. There is still room to grind more out especially on the bottom because it’s out of the port window. I gotta see if I can get my sonic checker to repeat so I can trust it. It’s not like I couldn’t repair a hole, I just don’t want to have to. I want to check actual valve lift now to see where I’m at.
