I have my heads at the machine shop. I have a one bent valve. a few dampners broke. Springs was coil binding at 765 lift. Plus the spings was differant heights, Im replacing the springs and one valve . Everything else looks good. Plus cleaning the surface of the head.

your spring's specs weren't wrong for the cam. the spring clearly wasn't setup if it went into coil bond at max lift!

Again, listening to the wrong people, doing business with the wrong people, you "think" you know, yet don't have a clue is why you are disappointed with your on track performance and why you continue to wrench rather than race, swapping parts and spending $.

Some of my pages are down right boring, page 7 only had Slick and HS displayed.
Sometimes the page is just "ignore,ignore,ignore" ad nauseum.
and sometimes despite the Be-a-uti-ful ignore function somebody just has to quote the resident asz hole and ruin it.
