[quote=BradH]Threw a few "real" springs on a head, grabbed some of the new longer pushrods, set the lash at .018", mocked up the dial indicator and got .648" on the #1 intake and .651" on the #3. Loaded ratio checks right at 1.54, so it's losing around. 04-.05 ratio vs measuring with soft checking springs. [/quote


Oh boy here we go !!! Just bolt the engine together and don't worry about 04-.05 ratio.... For what your doing with the car it wont matter at all. Have a beer and enjoy the hobby and stop loosing sleep over thing that don't matter
