I recommend installing the followers after the cam is tight, but have never heard any different. Wow. Just wow. Some one got screwed.

There is definately something amiss in that head. i would take it to a "professional" and see what they could find as to a cause. Sorry to hear that though.

Thanks for the reply,this company i bought these heads from are supposed to be professionals,somebody dropped the ball and from what im being told it sure wasnt me.
All this damage is being blamed on a bad spring which cant see how,the valvetrain is completly in tack and in fact this company wants to reuse the valve again?
I just dont think i should pay for something that wasnt my fault!
