I think we're OK here. The nut that backed off wasn't doing much in the way of locking. I went and bought a valve spring micrometer and found my springs are at 1.88", so good to go there.

Deleted the rotators on the driver's side and put them down with 7/8 turn of preload and driver's side definitely sounds quieter than passenger side. I used all new lock nuts on the driver's side as well. Since the truck is again usable, it's full speed ahead to check out some campers and grab one before peak season. I'll try to get the passenger side done sooner than later as well, but at this point I'm leaning heavily toward some poly locks to keep things in place. Forgot to mention that I tried dropping a valve as I was ignoring the truck, luckily I was able to turn the motor by hand to push it back up.

Poly locks are definitely worthwhile. I had nothing but issues with the stock style lock nuts after my rebuild.
Yeah I got them to fit under the stock covers. I can't remember the part number, its been too long. But I feel like they were some of the shortest ones I could find on summit, and I think they were comp brand. Although I'm pretty sure @cool_as_crap tried some really short ones, and they were too short.Did you fit some under the stock valve covers? If so, do you have a part number?
