Something weird that I noticed when checking lash which I usually do before resetting is that most of the intake clearances were bigger anywhere from .005" to .015" form the initial .006". Not sure why this is but I think it might be to do with wear on the nut where it contacts the rocker shaft, there is a small contact area there and there seems to be some wear showing. There is sufficent retainer to guide clearance (.070") and not going into coil bind, Springs are Crane 99893 set up at 1.810" installed height.
Cam is OF with about .630 lift with Comp Solid Roller lifters. Looking for suggestion on new rockers, H & S or Scorpian, which one would give better valvetrain geometry, current have 9.4 inch pushrods which I did check for straightness.. KRE D port heads.

Looking at the roller on that rocker I would pull the rocker check the valve tip. If it show wear I would pull the spring and check valve to guide clearance.
