Foreign valve springs in a Magnum

What heads did you buy? Stock Magnum? Iron Ram/EQ?

There is no adjusting the lash on stock Magnum rockers, you just torque it down to 20 ft lbs.

Hughes' 1110 valve spring should be more than sufficient for your camshaft. If you have the heads off, I'd get the pockets machined for taller springs.It opens up the possibilities immensely.

They were stock OEM replacement heads.

Wish the author had been a little clearer on this whole valve lash thing. I'm a newbee to rebuilding motors and also on a budget and bought those books in an effort to avoid making a mistake!

Live and learn, I quess. Hughes Engines a good outfit to deal with?
