Do these locks stick up to much, I'
Ive seen some almost flush.
the valve lock halves must not touch, but seat to the correct depth in the valve retainer with the correct amount of diameter and lock groove depth, and the retainers and locks or keepers must match the valve stem diameter used also.
keep in mind there are valve keeper designed for multi groove valve stems and keepers designed so the valve spring retainer sits .050 above or .050 below the stock retainer height on the valve stems
amount of valve stem above the retainer it looks like your valve locks are either not designed for that valve diameter or the valve locks are not designed for that particular valve stem lock groove
yes some valve locks are designed to fit lash caps and have a recess to fit lash caps
