Failed Rocker Arm

I'll give it another double check tonight and look at some others. Just to be clear, that measurement didn't include the spring cap.

Out of curiosity, if the springs are getting to the point they're close to binding, is the solution different springs, different valves or both?

This engine isn't necessarily high HP & TQ (just shy of 400HP & 415lb-ft). I'm wondering if there would be any issues to just going back to stock springs.

@RAMM, any thoughts on this? I know you're fairly familiar with these EQ heads.

Thanks
