So you are thinking they were just a defective set?

I checked my valve springs and they are the X302 set that Ford states is compatible with roller camshafts so I don't think there is an issue there. I am wondering if the spider is creating an issue. One of the dogbones was a little loose. However the lifter under that dogbone was actually fine. I guess I will wait and see what KC has to say.
