[QUOTE=steve25;6470920] This comment of mine from post 750(yikes!!!!!) was in regards to your noise issue, not anything dealing with a future build. [/QUOT]
Sorry, I mis- read that, I did check with Butler Performance, when I bought the "041" Cam and Johnson Lifters, that I would "not" have to modify the Valve seats with this combo. of parts. We did not have to modify the spring pockets either. It turned out that when the Heads were off, we found out that the Intake Valve Boss/seats were cut from the factory. The Head rebuilder said he was going to cut the Exhaust Valve Boss/seat, but changed his mind later. He fit the Exhaust seats with a tight-fitting Hat type seal and the intake got the Black with a metal band type seal.
As far as those Splash Shields are concerned, they remain for now. If you are stating they may be the cause of the noise, I will check that area, once it is running, with the stethoscope/rod tool. I am going to pull each spark plug to isolate which Piston is slapping too.
