This doesn't make any f*cking sense.

We measured the clearance from the seat of the spring to the top of the valve guide shoulder. It was just over 22 mm. Add the seal which is about 4 mm. The spring compressed 10 mm to become about 32 mm. The retainer is 9 mm thick. Therefore when the spring is compressed, the retainer is sitting at 23 mm high. They are interfering. I need about 3-4 more mm of clearance.

If I use my old retainers, with 7.00" pushrods, the retainer should clear the valve guide. Can I do that? Or would I need the valve guides machined?

I measured pushrod travel, and I'm getting very close to the VS cam lift specs. So thats good news. However, I noticed my valve springs are all around 1.6" installed height. Why would they be lower than 1.8"?

Oh ****. My keepers are upside down!!! How the hell did I mess that up? I wonder if that's all this is!?

I think you found your problem. Let us know how it works out when you get them swapped around.Originally Posted by Bedwards

Whoa, what, the keeper is upside down? I didn't even know that was possible. They are tapered and the smaller end goes into the retainer.
Stock spring install height is ~1.72X"
With modded/LS retainers it's ~1.78~
Once you have the heads machined you can achieve 1.800"
Glad you found it.. Thanks for teaching us something new and no..you want to use 7.050 aka stock length rods.
