    Ok, well... get those flipped over, double check all the springs etc etc just in case and get it back together.

    We've all learned something and that's all I ask from any problem that we don't understand. Let's learn something.

    In theory I didn't think that was possible. Now that it is...it does explain how the valvetrain can get messed up w/o hurting the pistons. Because if those were on right, what happened...shouldn't be possible.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Glad you are taking the learning so well. It can be painful and you definately got a leasson from the pain. Good way to turn it around.

    I dropped a stupid retainer somewhere behind the rear valve cover. Gawd. I was getting close, and then of coarse, another snag. Gotta find that garbage now.

    Got it all back together. But my battery needs charging. It's dead as a door nail. I'll let that charge for a while.

    One question. Does anyone know what the clearance should be between the valve spring retainer and the valve seal on LS springs? I'm maybe sitting around 0.030" right now.

    should be more than that. your cam is in the .400s for lift.
