    Are the springs binding? Is the geometry off and the tip is roller over the edge of the valve?

    you builder is talking about fly cutting the pistons but if i were you i would go with a smaller cam just because itll be cheaper and a lot less time consuming

    Having a small cam is like having a small dick, everytime you go to use it you wish it was bigger
