    Well back to this problem. I spoke with the machinest who built my heads about what I have discovered and he suggested that I replace the rocker and the pushrod with the next longer one, something about they come in increments of.050?. Well anyway, I described how the valve looks with one he had and he said he wouldn't worry at this time.:bananaman :bouncy: What really surprised me is how friendly and helpful he still is. He built my heads some 10 years ago and he spoke to me with the same enthusieasm(spelling) as he did then, even offering to recheck them if I could get them to him. One cool dude he is.
    Thanks for all the tips guys, THE END.(I hope,LOL)
