[QUOTE="Faded, post: 1016030, member: 38322"] You can do anything you want, but the desired outcome may be a far cry from what is considered a good valve job. This runs the increased risk of having negative side effects such as decreased reliability, decreased performance and in general falling short of your expectations. Lapping (if necessary) should be looked at as one of the final 'finish' steps, not a first past 'rough cut'. There will be a good bit of difference between a half-azz job and a quality job done right. These specs are designed to keep you and your motor safe as well as keeping the supplied parts working as designed. Deviating from the specs (assuming you don't know what you're doing) will most likely result in broken parts. Not enough installed height could lead to coil bind of the valve spring. To much seat pressure could prematurely wear out the valves and/or valve seats. Exceeding max lift could also cause coil bind. Use your imagination on what could happen give any of the above. Seat pressure and open pressure can be determined by testing/knowing the spring rate of the valve spring and plugging in the the installed height and the height that they spec for open pressure.
