Model number on the retainers

Stock Cobra rockers

Difference in spring height (bad angle but you get the idea)

Difference in retainers

These are the beehive springs that were recommended to me at Summit, brand new, never run, the valves "far as I know" are the stock ones 11/32" stems, as you can tell the intake and exhaust have different retainers The tops of the valvestems are all even, it's the tops of the springs that are NOT and are causing the interference with the rockers....

Any help would be appreciated....
