Maximum lift on L36
Of hand, does anyone know the physical (not valvespring) lift that can be put into a stock L36 headed engine?

With stock valve spring retainers and valve seals there is clearance for ~.515" lift. With modified retainers you can gain another .030" clearance and viton valve seals will allow another .020" clearance on top of that.
However, stock heads don't flow at those lifts anyways so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to run that much.
