Shitty drawing but you get the idea.
A bad valve job will make your life miserable, lay a straight edge across the top of your valve stems, I'll bet they are off, should be dead nuts even.
Mine were horrible. Were being the key word.

This is why no head is a bolt on from the box. People have done it and I suppose some have dodged a bullet but some have seized an engine as well and then scratch their heads as to why since they've bought their heads from a reputable company. These heads are massed produced and machine tool set ups and even castings can get really screwed up producing head after head.
I know my way around engines (well ,I thought I did before this computer crap) but some stuff will never change. If one doesn't know what to look for, a local machine shop to re-check measurements no matter what the reputation of the initial producer can be a wise move. Plus, if something is off, it can be remedied right there.

How is this? I mean the roller tip has a very small radius. I'm not sure what constitutes "wide" in your description but this stuff is measured in hundreds of an inch. None the less, when the entire reciprocal movement of the valve train is considered, even a slight differential at the push rod can translate into as much as a 10 degree difference when the entire swing is considered. Could make a cam smaller than what was originally bought.
Eddy heads need to be checked over by a competent head guy, they are pretty sloppy out of the box, all heads are.

Rev limiter? that's what valve springs are for!
Got the input shaft shortened on the transmission, bolted up to the motor, it's close but it fits. Waiting on my Trickflow pushrods to show up and the motor will pretty much be done. Suspension and fuel system next.

got the new clutch in, and torqued down the pressure plate to 45 ftlbs, used a dab of blue locktite to make sure the bolts don't back out. Have an issue with the throwout bearing being too long, going to need to space the trans away from the bell housing so everything will clear.
