I tried to get some clear pictures of the rockers with the valve closed, open half way and all the way; but they did not come out well. I'll try again this weekend.

I also tried to set-up my dial indicator to measure the actual valve travel, but my set-up kept moving and messing up my readings. I'll see if my friend Roger a.k.a. Sxrxrnr, will bring his dial indicator set-up over this weekend to measure it accurately.

The cam specs for the new solid roller selected by Dwayne for my application are on this link at Comp Cams.

I like running stock valve covers, and it looks as if I will still be able to with a bit more massaging of the internal baffles. I still get a kick out of telling people at car shows its basically all stock with headers, and then watch their faces when I fire it up with the electric cutouts open.
