I also need to clarify that the machinist did use feeler gauges on the valve lash. However, he only seemed to eyeball the opening and closing of the valves. He didn't really check to make sure the valves were exactly in the correct range during their operating sequence when adjusting the lash. My pushrods are 7.250. Rockers are 1.6. He knew those factors going into this operation. My biggest concern is how the hell did he miss the coil bind while adjusting the valve lash???
