We ended up honing the valve guides slightly to provide "racing clearance". The valve clearance was "pass car" tight right out of the box. Everything else looked good. We swapped out the Ti retainers for some steel retainers. The steel retainers are only $45 and they won't get chewed up by the damper. I'm pretty sure the engine will still spin 7000 rpm with the steel retainers so no need for the lighter weight components. If we run into a float issue then I'll install some tool steel retainers.

Engine is ready to fire up. Should have some data after T-day. Baro is 30.15 and outside temp is 45 degrees so we're looking at some good air density numbers for dyno testing. Uncorrected numbers should be really nice.
