And I see it with this setup I am fooling with right now Andy. So I set one up at 1.950. Switch to a +.050 lock....614 Comps.

Around 2.00 Right? Noooope. Now we are +.070 setting at 2.020...I can see + or - .005 or so but .020?

Since these are PAC retainers maybe I should try locks from PAC?

Maybe I get a true .050 and gain some rocker clearance I was worried about originally. When I checked it the other night I didn't realize I was getting .070.
