That's what I keep going back to.
All of my projects throughout the years have been built with that plan. I will just have to deal with it. I will sleep better knowing it is right.
Exactly. Also, you should use the correct retainers and valve locks as well. If you have ever seen how old retainers crack around the valve hole and how valve locks wear the ridges,you will never skimp there again.
There are some places you can cut corners, but the hardware that keeps the valves hangin in the heads shouldn't be one of them.
