    I've been setting the valve height at 1.560" above the shoulder. The Pan spec of 1.500" is too tight with stock valve guides, and there's a risk of bottoming on the guide. The Kibblewhite guides are shorter, so it's not so much of a risk. Lift is .373" as the rockers are 1:1 ratio. The free length of the springs is listed in the text of the service manual.
