Shouldn't the lifter face be convex?

Very slightly convex. Can't see it good with a square. I'm just using a square as the tech told me to do. He said if they are square or convex they are fine. If they are bad they will show concavity.

The other side is fine. All flat. Looking really nice. No witness marks on the spring retainers from interference from the rockers. Lash seemed still correct. The only thing I found wrong was on #7, I didn't set the lash and tighten the lock nut. It seemed like maybe a whole turn short of where it should have been. Two turns at most. Two turns loose. Like that through the break in.

The springs seem good. I can push them down with the heel of my hand. I have to lean on it to do it. They seem stout enough to seal the valve.

The break in was a success. Now just getting it to run right.
