Need Shorter Valve Seals Does anyone know of a company that make shorter than normal valve seals? After shimming my valve springs to get the correct installed height the valve seals won't seat for ****....I need a shorter one, anyone know of 1? I have Comp Cams 511-16 valve seals with Comp Cams 921 spring kit. I am having to shim them, on average, .014" so they ended up getting shimmed .015" because I could not find a .010 shim. Anyone know someone that makes shorter valve seals for a LS3 head?

Holy **** me to tears....the spring micrometer I have is not calibrated for ****. it is calibrated to the TOP of the tool, not where the retainer sits. WTF kind of **** is that? There is a .15" difference between where the retainer sits and the top of the tool....how the **** did they screw this up? Never again will I buy anything from Howard's Racing Cams. The tool is going back along with the $40 in shims....so ******* pissed!
