Graham,

In a stock engine the spring coils do not bind at an additional .100"
valve opening. A combination of a high lift cam, "and" high ratio roller
rockers could definitely pose a problem.

Roller rocker install had to be delayed; unfortunately  , or
fortunately,
two broken  valve springs were discovered  by Jim Swarthout, luckly ,
Mike
Lunsford came by with  a couple of used springs to keep me on the road.
New springs to be ordered shortly.
Story continued.
