Following that we will shim the springs to get 1.80" installed height, check the seat pressure and the pressure at full lift, then assess the valvetrain for geometrical symmetry and figure out the proper pushrod length. If all this does not work I'll put a small block chevy in. Just kidding.

I would first take every spring and measure the height to get the seat pressure you want and mark each spring. Then check the installed height of every valve and you'll know how much you have to shim each spring to get your seat pressure.
