something is wrong wither the rockers are made incorrect or the valve is too short

Re: roller rocker Q's
Looks like different retainers on the exhaust as opposed to the intakes...causing the valve stem to be recessed??

they have been rebuilt. have never had these heads on my truck before. don't know much about or why the retainers are different.

I not sure but it looks like you are missing 6 of part # 14003974. It call a cap,Valve spr. Its located in group 0.000, section 0.309 of the part manual. Accord to the part manuals there are 12 of these on the engine. Can you tell if they are on the intake side?

the valve tip is too short.. Those rockers are nice due to the cast in self aligning guide vs the comp cams which use a thin pot metal washer that always seems to crack, but this can be one of the major headaches if the wrong valve is used. You can either get the right valve or grind down on the rocker guides just a touch to clear the retainer.
