I've read that post and that was my initial thought that maybe this was the same. The machinists I visited today however said that it's been overrevved, he could feel at the back of the other valves that they had bounced.
I don't know, I want to get it running now, and winter time I'll take it apart and refresh it. With an agressive cam and 1.73 rockers, it'll never be a high rpm screamer IMO.
