yea budhayes3 is right ya really need to do it my friend. cause the sheets you have about the cam specs does match what you are measuring.thats not the first time ive seen that happen tho.be nice to see what the runouts are as well. not to get to technical but the peak open,nose,and close you would like to be .0002 to .00035.thats easy on the valves when they close..0004 and up is harder on the seats when they get hot and high spring pressures are used.

it aint junk my friend. no way is it junk. you got options. you can get it reground to a smaller cam or get the heads repaired to except the camshaft. which is the most logical thing to do. dont let this get ya dwn. a godd friend once told me when we first started racing he would see i would get pissed at things. he said dont let emotion rule your thoughts. think with logic not emotion.you have options just ask . just like your doing. tell ya what this is by far the best site/forum ive seen on helpin people yet

you can use any rockers you want with any cam. just gotta make sure you have enough clearence for the extra lift a rocker gives ya.longer rokers can also help straighten up the geometry pattern on top of the valve stem as well. to a degree of course

Well, assuming that all the guides are the same height and if all the seals were pushed down all the way like the one I just measured.......... doing the math gives at most .090" clearance. Most of the seals were not pushed down that far though.
