Ok, Thanks to all the info. I appreciate all the help. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.. I want to list things involved in setting springs up. Not in order of course..
Installed height.
Seat pressure.
Open pressure.
Coil bind.
Clearance under Rocker to retainer.
Clearance to Valve seal.
Clearance if spring sits in cup or locators.
Checking each springs for height, coil bind, straightness and pressures..
Inspect each spring for any visual defects.
Inspect locks. making sure 10deg on 10 deg valve stems or if using 7 degree.
The type of lock whether square or bead lock.
Using hardened shims.
Choosing +.050, standard or -.050 locks.
Retainers that fit the springs. Retainers can have built in +or _ .050
Doing a heat cycle on new springs.
Compressing new springs to coil bind before checking.
Checking valve spring tester with a calibration spring to test equipment for accuracy.
Make sure to always test spring for pressures with retainer that will be used, and to deduct retainer thickness for true coil height.
Make sure the retainer is not forced onto spring.

Missing anything?

Thanks
