Default Re: Question on cam gear marks

Thank you for responding Terry.
100% sure the fireing order is set correctly. I am using the older stock spring components, not the rotators Also pertinent, I am running Chevy valves with the double set of grooves, and the locks are in position for the springs being the shortest. My measurements show the install height to be 5/16", shorter than what a stock flathead valve would bring. A compression check shows numbers 87lbs to 100lbs.
Any and all comments welcome. The engine now sits on a stand with heads and pan in place. Trying to decide if I should remove the heads and redo the valve train. I'm sure the installed height issue is do to some seats are pretty low.
