Valve locks touching ok?

Sounds like you already did your fix. I was going to suggest trying mix and matching different keepers to see if you could get the clearance you were looking for. I imagine there has to be some dimensional differences even among the same P/N. Nobody builds to exact (.0000) tolerances.
There is no tolerance problem, as I & (?)# Members have pointed out, they (the 4-groove exh.) are designed to butt stock.
