Ran into one of the first, and im sure not last, set backs of the final assembly.

Maybe some of you engine/math gurus can help shed some light because its a bit blurry to me.

Turns out the valve springs i have, are no good to use with the cam i have due to "coil bind"

The Valve springs are Brian Tooley .660 lift platinum springs with Ti Retainers.

-Spring specs are 155 lbs @ 1.780", 380 lbs @ 1.180", 400 lbs @ 1.130, coil bind @ 1.070"

The Cam is a Flowtech Cam

-.614" intake lift, .601 exhaust
