Not sure I consider 6500 high reving Greg. In addition lash caps are used to correct drive train geometry.

In order to reach a conclusion I imagine would probably have to put together all the variables and do the math.....how much was removed from the deck of the block, piston to deck dimension, valve stem length, spring assembled height, push rod length, gasket thickness, piston to valve clearance, etc, etc..
As soon as I get the other three rocker arms I'll run the drive train through it's motions and do a little more investigating.
