This is what I have come up with
1 When I set up the valve spring and checked for coilbind I have to change springs and go for offset locks. This would result in less open spring preassure...
2 I have probably set the lash hot on cold. Since I have an engine with both the block and heads in aluminium the hot lash would have been .034 hot...
3 Or a combination of both
Now I have set the lash cold to .014 which will theoretically give .026 hot (target), right?
Roller rockers suggestion?
I think I will go for a new set of rockers though those I have don't feel ok at the roller tip.
Steel or aluminium rockers.
As described above about open pressure;
Is there any advantage to change valve locks with zero offset to reach a higher open preassure and go for a rocker with less gearing, 1:6 insted of 1:73?
No damage on the valve stems and retainers.
Suggestion is appreciated
