Quote: I have the "hemi" springs rated to .500 lift, so I guess I am slightly weak with the springs. I lubed the lifters on the bottom and sides and made sure they spin looslely. I have a standard valvetrain. Maybe I should upgrade to solid lifters if that helps? Need to get this thing going!
if those springs are set up for 1.88 installed heigth they will coil bind before .509 lift. those springs are obsolete.
