I finally got my head installed (after the machine / speed shop got my cam degree straighten out) this evening. I got my rocker arms all set up on the shaft with the adjusters backed way off. As I was tightening the shaft bolts, I noticed that #5 intake valve was compressed and the push rod "cone" was touching the barrel. at first I thought the push rod had jumped out of the lifter. With 1:5 rockers the total lift on the intake valve is .536. It was getting late and I've had a long day. I may be reading more into it and there may not be a problem. I'm going to take the shaft back off and just install two rockers on that cylinder and set the lash. As best I remember, when I was trying to use the Dutra method to degree my cam, using two rockers, (and valves) installed in the #2 chamber and bolting that chamber over #1 cylinder. I didn't see any problem with the push rods then and with the lash set. I'll look at it again tomorrow.
