Fresh engine, wiped cam? Tick? (new pics added)

Were you guys able to measure the installed height, spring bind limit, retainer to valve seal clearance, valve to piston clearance and spring seat/open pressures?

I don't remember if I told you in one of my posts or on the phone, but the factory stamped rockers ALWAYS vary. They do not vary enough to mandate the adjustable rockers but the adjustables are an upgrade and may actually make a little bit more power across the board just due to equalizing cylinder pressures because of a theoretical "even filling" and "even emptying" of the cylinders.

P.S. This sentence from the PHR article also backs up what I was telling you about the dif between a solid and a hydraulic cam/lifter set-up:
"If valvetrain noise is of little or no concern, then a solid cam is the way to go, as there are no worries about hydraulic lifter collapse."
