You mean lifters? I'm guessing you have a iPhone because mine just autocorrected it too

I know you said 1.7rr's but I have a set of 1.6 Crane Gold RR's. I think that 4 of them have some marks on them due being set too loose initially. 115.00 Shipped

I ran these with no problems on LT4 Springs but when I changed to the crane spring kit is when I had a couple of interference issues. The one is different because I was paranoid about it so I bought a new one from summit. These are self aligning 3/8th stud rockers.

Do you know why you had issues when you swapped springs?

Still very interested.

Thanks!

I have a couple of guess why I had problems but never pin pointed the problem for sure. The crane double springs are larger probably made tolerances tighter and left less room for error. When I put the springs on I also put in a new cam and brand new lifters. One of the lifters could have not been pumped up all the way when I adjusted them to zero lash. I also could have been off on my one valve close other open technique to adjust the valves. I ended up switching out to non self aligning comp pro mags since they are designed for higher rpms. If I had to do it again I would have just spent the money on beehive springs and not rockers b/c the beehives are light vavletrain.
