he got crower complete valvetrain....dual valve springs, titanium retainers, and the stage 3 cams (the newest ones out)

 

I just emailed SB tuning a pic of the rockers shaved down. Either way make sure you check clearances before you fire the motor.

 

so it's .030?

I believe is was more than .030....the springs are +.060

I just shaved them down like the pic showed and checked clearances after they were installed.

 

ohok cool

We used a 1/4" pneumatic grinder.

I thought it was .060" but thats what I read here somewhere

Mine are only shaved .030"

are the clearance's ok, or you still havent put it all together???

 

No, its running, but not tuned so it hasnt been driven hard, just in and out of the shop for right now. A/F ratios go lean past 3500 with the present tune.

 

damn that sucks, so im betting you havent cracked vtec yet either? i think i'd be safe with a .040" mill to the rockers...

 

Just to throw this in there. I have Crower 3's with Eibach springs and Portflow retianers. Everything is fine for me, no grinding down anything.

right. The crower +60 spring/retainer kit requires this mod, not the cams.

 

I would say your statment is correct.

yep, its the height of the retainer that messes it all up, i'll try to get a pic of a stock retainer vs. crower

 

So why did they make a taller retainer, when other companies can run the same size cams on stock height retainers?

maybe something to prevent the springs from binding? Personally I don't like mis matching springs/retainers/cams. If something fails the companies tend to point fingers at each other.
