Ive got Tiny Valve Reliefs Now!!!!!!
Pulled the heads tonight... and I now have tiny valve reliefs!!!!! They are REALLY small... more like a bit of carbon knocked off the piston. Gonna be replacing the heads very soon with a set of stock heads with a 3 angle valve job on em. I'll post some pics once I get them up.

Well... I knew it happened on ONE when I turned it over by hand at 4*. Apparantly 2* is just BARELY too much advance as well. I didnt feel any hesitation when I turned it over by hand on 2*. So, I was kind of surprised when the other 3 pistons on the pass. side were "reliefed".
Ive got a new mod for the sig.

If you could feel 4 tapping just when you were turning it over by hand, there's NO WAY you shoulda run 2. Just think, you were turning everything at what...5 rpm by hand? Now imagine what happens at 5000 rpm...things will get flung around a bit more.
Ah well, at least the damage was minor. Sounds like you'll be back on the road soon..a lot of LS1's I've seen had the little "ghetto valve releifs" like you have so its not totally uncommon.

There are some shots of my new valve reliefs.
Gotta finish pulling the drivers side tomorrow. Taking our time, its rather tiring work.
