The a 12 cam compared to a stock cam you can see how steep the lobe ramp is. The valve spring may not be keeping up. I may be wrong but just to be on the safe side I put stiffer valve springs on both our buggies. The down side of stiffer springs is the valve and seat wears faster.
You can also get titanium valve spring retainers.
