It's been awhile since I've torn down a small block motor, but I don't believe that the valves can hit the spark plug. If anything is hitting the spark plug it would seem that it would have to be the head of the piston. That tells me that possibly the spark plug is being used is wrong was too deep ahead or the engine was built wrong. What am I missing?
