So the new valves, heads,cam, lifters,rockers along with the factory hollow stem valves all went on a spintron to see where i stand and valve control was good to 9400 RPM. on both solid and hollow stem. point is I don't think it matters. I was worried having heavy valves but the spintron proved me wrong. I did find out that my valve springs were too heavy on the seat. I hope this helps...Luke SS 311
What did you see on the Spintron that indicated too much seat pressure?
