need help, piston hits valve
I'm building my first mild 454 (.060), I was done with the short block assembly yesterday. I installed the Cyl. heads, intake and exhaust pusrods, and rocker arms on one cylinder I turned the crank over and it gets stuck. Exhaust valve hits dome of piston. Is there anything I could do to fix this without changing the rotating assembly or cyl heads. (Could i get a smaller cam) black spots is where the valves hit (pics below). I have spent toooo much money on all these parts and machine work, pls help.
Engine specs
*speed pro hyper. Part # ZH581CP60 Dome height .340" W/two valve relief
*Standard rocker arms 1.72
*stock length pushrods 8.280"/9.250"
*Elgin E930K cam .503"/.528" 292/302 (214/224 @.050) LC 112 w/ matching springs
* stock length stainless steel valves 1.72/2.065

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
