I am glad you are finding things to fix the issues you have. I would continue to scrutinize the entire package. Are your retainers and cups/locaters matched to your springs etc...It's hard to give a comprehensive breakdown of everything you measure/consider when engineering a valvetrain.

Is there a chance you can take a picture of the broken parts?

ahha, some installed hights are off. some as high as 1.977. that puts springs at 180lbs closed. way to low seat pressure. now i feel better somewhat.
2.037 without spring locator. 2" spring with .030 shim should be just right

so, of course the question that needs to be asked is......who assembled the heads and didnt check the installed heights?
