Ok, installed PP S2 heads, didnt check for rocker clearance(they used larger 978's, didn't know it didnt work with stock ls1 parts...:\ ) What kind of issues am I looking at if they didn't clear right? What kind of sounds would I be hearing? Could I have dammaged them with out knowing?

Since the day the car started till today, nothing 'funky' sounding has been going on, would I even hear it? The only thing I hear is the normal sewing machine of the valvetrain.

Please advise.
thanks

You'd hear it if they were hitting. You can pull your valvecovers off and see if the retainers are scratched/worn at all where the rocker would be hitting them. You can also try to find a valve that is totally shut and see if you can fit a feeler guage under the rocker arm between it and the retainer. You're probably fine as long as the shop used the right type of retainer.

My friend and I installed the heads, thanks to your install! =)
The heads were pre-assembled and sent to me, teryr said the retainer used is the flat type.
