Bent up stuff

Yeah with that cam( I think it is a xtreme energy XR 274R? ) it should have a noticeable idle. The cam card shows 564/571 lift. But that is with 1.5 rockers. You said you had 1.6 rockers. That works out to .603/.609 lift! Yeah you could have gotten into coil bind!
Why would that be though? Wrong pushrod length? Comp Cams said springs were matched to the cam but who knows?
