Thanks for the link to the tightening sequence.
I pulled the valve cover this afternoon and inspected the keepers/retainers. On the intake side they all seemed to be uniform and sticking out the proper distance but I couldn't really be sure since I didnt take the cams off. On the exhaust side I wasn't really so sure about because the viewing angle was different. Again they all seemed to be the same distance.
Now I am considering taking off the cams so I can get a better look. Is it difficult to do this? Does it require any complex adjustement besides the valve adjustment?
By the way I checked for grooves on the cams and didn't have any.

10,000 CP works quite nicely.
Another option is the $2.99 dental mirror from the local pharmacy.
Also, keep in mind, the main thing you should be looking for is the keeper being flush with the retainer. Check this thread. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry6099242
Billman has a great picture 1/2 way down the 3rd. page.

I installed a digital tachometer and programmable LED shift light that records highest rpm achieved. So, if I ever 'money shift' I'll know exactly what rpm it hit as the digital tachometer can record up to 13,000rpm. Pretty sure the motor can't hold that rpm anyway.
