A couple of things I've noticed is the possibility of poor machine work to the heads, laying a straight edge across the tops of the valves shows them not to all be laying at the same height.

There is some light showing thru on some of the valve tips.

Not going for Nascar here but this hugs me cause from what I know this just isn't correct.

I don't see how this would have any affect on the issue I'm having but it's worth throwing out there.

I'd also like to comment on the play of the pedastals to the hardware holding them to the heads.

If I weren't careful about where I tightened them down than some of the rockers could be dangerously close to the valve spring in my opinion.

Lastly I've set the rockers on heads just to show how far off center the arms too valve tips.

I may be able to fix some of this a little by readjusting the pedastals to shaft location but I'm not sure how much room I have and still be able to drop the bolt thru the assy.
