Bent up stuff

Okay I've only read this far and can't take anymore! I'm sure people will tell you that people work at a machine shops grinding valves or hot tanking parts or boring holes called themselves The Machinist. They're only hole Drillers and valve Grinders they're not assemblers they don't know how to assemble Motors and make everything work they know how to grind a valve. Just like they were taught. This guy sounds like a complete Jack wheel then screwed things up adjusting valves by sight or hand did I hear you say that? All the questions you're asking now I asked before I started assembling my motor and before I started doing anything I had a discussions on every single aspect of it. I got a lot of crap on this form when I started because I kept asking more questions and kept questioning people's questions but still learned a lot and made sure I knew everybody's opinion and everybody's knowledge before I started doing things even though I did a lot wrong. Well you said you're learning a lesson so lesson learned do it yourself don't let nobody touch your s***
Edit. I'm off to the Mopar Nationals here in a few minutes again. Going to get competition from the only car a Mopar can get competition from another Mopar. get your stuff right to the dragstrip and have fun. learn to do it yourself because you'll be the only one there to work on it. Good luck and again have fun!!

I thought I was learning from this machinist but he does kind of go on speculation on a lot of things. I don't think he's actually fully assembled a motor on his own. I did build this Barracuda entirely on my own. When I started to get into race stuff is where the problems began. First it was piston to head clearance. Now it seems like coil bind is an issue. The thing is only the springs on #2 cylinder broke. All the others look to be fine. However all pushrods on passenger side are extremely bent.
