Valve installed height with larger valves
I had my heads machined for larger valves (2.19, 1.88) and now my spring installed height is too short. It should be 1.875", but it looks like it is now closer to 1.7" or so. I dont' really want to have the machinist sink the valves that much more, especially on the exhaust valves where he put in new hardened valve seats. I know there are offset valve stem locks, are there other options to fix this?
Engine is 454, valves are undercut, 5.350" length.
