All installed spring heights are 2 1/8- MAX 2.180 I have no real true way to test installed pressure. BUT I can reach in with two fingers and open valves. Can do it on the other engines I have opened up. I know that the book says 30# low limit. Seems that I should not be able to open them by hand. Guides are new- valve grind fresh. All valve faces have light carbon on them..
