Nick,
In terms of the valve train geometry, the relative location of the valve
tip is most important.
I may be mistaken, but I assume from your post that you are trying to
determine whether or not your valves are too long thus causing the
problems with your rocker installation. The overall valve length will
not provide a conclusive answer if you have had any sort of extensive
valve, (head), work done prior to assembly. I will be glad to elaborate
if this seems misleading.
Assuming that the valve spring land area has not been cut, you should
measure 1.675-1.680 from the spring land to the valve tip, (you will
need to remove the spring to accurately take this measurement). This
value, (as measured), will let you know whether or not the, (rocker
critical), geometry of your engine has been altered from O.E.M. spec. A
.010"-.020" differential will make no difference. A .080"-.125"
difference would be a red flag as to why your rockers do not align
properly!
Best regards,
Jim Swarthout

Subject: TR6 Valve Length
Anyone out there know the overall length of a stock TR6 valve? Intake
or
exhaust.
I'm still dealing with the Roller Rocker problem. Great help from all
the
list and it is very much appreciated. I have a call in to Richard Good
in
hopes his new rocker pedestals will fix the problem.
