ole I really appreciate your help with the spring heights and pressures , I feel better now about the height I ended up with . Still used the green stripe springs (outer single)and went with 1.000 installed height . Problem with my measuring height was the new guides that I installed were sticking down in the lifter valley probably .050 to .060 or maybe a little more . Leveled out the guides and had my buddy at the machine shop make me a set of upper retainers at the height I needed to get the 1.030 installed heights...but they ended up a little tighter .
Not really looking for a 7000 rpm engine here , just a good strong low to mid range , dependable engine .
