Valve locks touching ok?

1WildRT said

What valves are you running? Are they single groove? or multi groove? If they are OE exhaust valves they are multi groove.. OE Exhaust valves are designed with multi grooves to allow the valve to rotate.. The keeper ends are supposed to butt together...

If your running single groove valves & single groove keepers then your correct, they should not butt....

Look at any factory mopar head with the 4 groove locks. Intake and exhaust all the locks but together. I went thu this in 2020. Got locks from 4 different places. All butted together on the Mopar valves. I don’t like it but that’s how it is. Then I check about 10 factory heads and that’s how they are. But I would run them with any more than 300 lbs open pressure. Kim
