The springs themselves are suitable for this cam and I didn't install any shims (just the spring cups) so I doubt they are too low but. I will be checking everything before putting the head back on!


That can be expensive forgetting! tsk

I seen a big block stroker that was blown up in the garage last year because the heads were measured for -.050 retainers, and the guy ordered -.050 retainers AND locks, installed them and assumed it would be right..... whiney
