ive read some posts on the 918s some say .600 lift and others say .625 lift

how would they handle a .610 lift?

I'd check for coil bind,you are going to be close.They will probably be ok but a broken valve spring can be a real drag.

I thought they were maxed out at .600 lift. .610 is really pushing it.
