Thanks to those of you who gave me some good answers
on my valve train oddities (especially Albert and
Shawn). I think the weak valve springs are the
problem, and am now going to revisit the springs. I
also have to give some sh#t to the usually good folks
who sold me the cam who ASSURED me the springs and
rocker assy would be compatible.
I don't think it is the springs binding or bottoming
out as many have suggested because I did a crude check
when I put the head on by setting zero lash, then
cranking the valves to full open and checking for
space in the coils with a feeler gauge (this of course
does not take into account momentum or anything else).
Now I need to get me some stiff valve springs.
Peeterrrrrrrrr.... Ed....?????
BTW, I assume with stiff springs the rockers
themselves might now get hurt?
