This is all to blame:

New plates


I have some HRC values from the old plates too and was consulting with dkjenis on instagram about making these. The plates above are still yet to be hardened.

Old plates below for reference

As an aside while doing this work I ran into balancing the plates and found out that the camshafts are totally out of balance to begin with. Looking at the intake lobes they are all over the place with the engine’s firing order.
want to send me the worn out plates? That’s all I really need.

It really shouldnt take much longer but an expecting wife due any day and kids are really proving to be a little bit more work.
