with crower stage 3's, using type-s pistons,

I had 5 degree's advance on the intake and -4 on the exausts and still had plenty of clerances on both (1mm on intake, and 5mm++ on exaust). this is with the vtec rockers fully locked and with valve lash at 6 and 7.

I even clayed my rocker retainers, i'm using crower 0.60+ installed height, and all of them clear with about .5mm clearances, but one was about .1mm, but still didn't go through the clay...

now should i worry about the retainer to rocker arm clearances or i should be ok...

i locked the valve trained and turned the motor over 3 complete circules no binding etc... so it should be good .. but i'm curious on the float properties.....

valves are Ferrea, (lapped to head)
crower Eibach dual vavle springs
crower .60 installed height retainers
new "black type" h22a valve locks (32)
machine rockers
crower stage 3's
stock 99 spec lma's.. no binding anywheres...

imput guys ?

feedback is appreciated....

 

Valves look fine...shud be good.

so my rocker to retainer clearance is ok ?

i know my valve clerances look ok but only lasting impressions will tell....

if the Lost motion assemblies were clearing fine then i should have any problems long term as well? the worse is what metal fatigue.. but even then they would have the spring pressure clearances still ?

come on peeps!!
