If you have clearance issues, you could always remove the washers/shims from the mount and extend the crossmember slots so it sits lower. I did that in mine anyway just for the lower CG.

Well we now know the valve seal and spring info and the gaskets were easy to find before. I think rocker arms are the same between P11 and P12.
Its the valves I'm worried about. If I ever bend a valve, I'm going to have to figure something out because there's no aftermarket valves as far as I'm aware. So either I'd have to machine the guides up to 6mm and use P11/DET valves, get custom 5.5mm valves from Supertech or look into the possibility of using valves from another engine with 5.5mm stem valves like a B series. Slim chance of finding something the same dimensions though.
