I didnt use soft springs just the supertech ones i have. With only one set of rockers installed it is hard to turn by hand is this ok. Also my valve to valve at zero zero on the cam gears is .038 think i will have any problems with these pro 1s. I am also running .05mm os valves looks like plenty of room. Which numbers on the intake and exhaust gears make the valve to valve worse: such as advance intake and retard exhaust etc. Im not finished but would like the insight as where to look for conflict.

 

Also i am going to clay my motor . My plans are to not use a gasket and just sit the head on the block with just the dowel pins and use some clamps i have lying around. I know its not perfectlly acurrate but is there a reason it wont work. I dont want to take the cam caps off again.

 

Personally, I'd put the gasket back on, remove the cam caps and do it. The extra fifteen minutes will provide you with a much more accurate answer
