Hi Rick,
This builder did not know Fe's too well or this would not of happened. Most of the better valvetrain suppliers for the FE's supply the correct spacer kits for the head application. I only use Harland Sharp sets as I've had "issues" with others. Eldbk heads have a different valve offset than others, care must be taken on your over the nose spring pressure, I like to keep it 320psi or less. After thirteen or so FE projects I can tell you this is just poor craftsmanship....this is a bad error. Hope your damage is just up top.
Mark
