Im currently arguing with a machine shop over recent work done on my heads. The performed a 3 angle valve job, and I went to mount new roller rockers and found alot of clearence/ lash between tip of roller and top of stem, and its different on all cylinders. But then theres none with the stock rockers back on instead. So I figure longer pushrods right???? Anyway my problem is that all rockers are different lash, some are at 0 and some at .066". What is the MAXIMUM amount of tolerance on installed valve height differences between valves???? I would assume being there is no adjustment in rocker that there needs to be no difference and they all need to be the same?? I think the fix for my problem is have all valves be at the same installed height, 1 set of 16 longer pushrods and a shim kit for the rockers.......Any advice or anyone been here before? The machine shop says they did everything perfect and its setup like factory, I think this is bull**** b/c if so this would mean I need 16 different length pushrods. WTF

i think that they set some of your valves deeper in the seat.measure to see if all of your springs are at the same installed height or if they are different.also measure the valve tips from the keeper groove to the top of the stem and see if they are the same distance.if the distances on spring height are off they f***ed them up
