318 Heads: bad valve job?

Hey Paul!

Thanks once again!

So, if I can't sink intake valves...spring seats should be ground on the springs that seat "below" recomended installed height, is that it?
Thats the right way to do it?

I'm already looking forward to doing that job down here..."not".


But first, I found out the 53 Bel Air guy still has his set of 5877 springs (identicall to mine) that he ran for...200 miles I guess, AND that he has a spring load "measurer" tool.
I will go over and measure spring load at my current heights, and see what I get.

Thanks a LOT for that schematics!
Didn't know lifters could handle all that preload!
Hope it all stays within specs when reassembling.
