Did you check your side clearances on the rockers also? i set mine up .012-.015 per a user here that isn't around anymore but knew his ****... it's probably not that critical but better to make sure you aren't too tight before it's an issue
Yes we did. That was another WIP. The PRW instructions were a little vague (to me); they instructed .015-.020 per rocker. Talking again with Mike (I can't say enough good things about him), its .015-.020 per pair of rockers, so I initially had twice as much clearance as needed. Determining the side clearances was more tedious than dialing in preload. Besides the different sized shims, the holes in the shaft hold downs were drilled off-center; it took me a couple of times to realize. I then marked one side on each to stay consistent. I must've had the rocker shafts on and off the head 5 or 6 times before I felt comfortable with the settings.
