Where I exercised some judgement on my part, was to use two .030" shims under each spring to increase my seat pressure from 125 lbs closed to 147 lbs closed. I now know this is not the correct way to achieve more seat pressure. But,by my math of 1.8" installed height -.502 net valve lift, -.060 shim height and a coil bind height of 1.10" I'm still left with .138" clearance from coil bind. I'm really hoping those shims are not my problem. I have visually confirmed that the springs are not close to binding as well.
those crane ductile rockers will check somewhere between 1.57-1.6 true ratio. your actual lift at the valve will be .530-.540. the .028"-.032" recommended lash is somewhat loose; i'd try .022".
