Thanks Andy. Another question: Do you know if the intake and exhaust followers have the same amount of internal movement? All of my intake side followers have the 2-3 mm play before hitting the resistance of the valve spring. Only one of the 8 on the exhaust side has any movement and it's maybe 1 mm. Rod.
