And 103# at what height? That number means nothing. I understand that it’s advertised as such, but testing springs at the installed height is crucial, imo....

I’d be inspecting the gear lash and thrust on all components, the clearance between the cam and journals, straightness of cam,,, exc. pretty standard assembly.
Ya I'm starting to think I shouldn't trust what I am being told by the manufacturer. I trust my engine builder and have not had this type of issue over multiple builds in the past. I will certainly be checking all those things when I tear it down. Thanks for your input.
