I've had the engine together and apart a couple of times now! Checking various clearances, etc. ALWAYS a good idea to assemble and rotate by hand before the final.

The Comp Cam spec is 106 degree centerline, sure enough the degree wheel confirmed it. I used an adjustable pushrod to determine the new length required due to "short" lifters.

Also checking for valve spring coil bind and clearance of the valve stem seal to the valve retainer.
