They are not necessarily mis positioned but
By Royce - 02/08/2004 8:36:20 AM; IP 67.29.206.185
If you install CJ size valves in a 390 / 352 the edge of the intake valve hits the relief on some of the stock Ford pistons. Don't know about the Silv - O - Lites but would check any piston of any brand.

With a bunch of bent pushrods and one broken valve and one broken piston some assembly problems existed for sure.
