valve tip wear looks good.

Good question Victor, I was wondering if he used a solid lifter
or a shimmed hydraulic lifter that wouldn't collapse when he did
his measurement? However, his valve stem wear looks good. It
has been a while since I built and engine and this post caught
my eye and I checked and doubled checked and hope I don't
have this gentlemans problem with my engine. Something is
definitely binding. I wonder about the brand heads he has too.
The valve stem wear pattern and the fact he drove it 2000 miles
makes me think his valve geometry is not too far off ?? So ,what
about the quality of the studs and the rubbing pushrods against
the head or guide plate too?.....Good luck sir !! Let us know
what it took to get your problem fixed too please .
