Yes the valve lash would go to zero.
After, i put new rings, bearing and gaskets thats when the problem occurred. I use a .070 wide valve seat width. But the old valves were the same way. I changed to a thinner head gasket to try and get a llittle more compression.
I had always used manley valves in the past. Never had a problem with them. These valves were a no name brand.
I am thinking that I am running to lean, the exhaust gas temperature is 1400 deg. in high gear. I run 32 degrees total timing, that seems to be the limit with my combination. It runs slower e.t and mph with more timing.
