cant set installed height
Was told to set my installed height at 1.800 But The closest I can get is 1.745.
This is with trickflow heads and spring cups already installed. Obviously adding shims would make it worse.
Why would I need to have a set of heads machined to get the correct height when supposedly they are set up for cups already??
*****IN ADDITION***
These valves seem to have very large margines. Would a good valve job give me the added height I need? I wouldnt doubt if the previous owner/builder installed the valves with out doing any sort of grind. A basic 45* is on them now.
Just to clarify this is on a hyd roller cam and howards springs 98213
120#@ 1.800 375#@ 1.250
@ 1.75 they are 145#Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

Crane makes valve locks that will give you an extra .050 of installed height. Make sure you get the machined ones as they offer two types. Here is a link: http://www.cranecams.com/?show=brows...Number=99095-1
