Help! 360 with 302 heads no compression

You're trying a reasonable alternative, based on the PN's and listings. It may well get you out of the woods but there is still a possibility that the valves are bent; the .15" long pushrods were opening the valves an extra .225" or thereabouts, and that is a lot of extra lift.

Or something else may pop up in the overall length setup. So just be aware.

It's more about past services on the head, gasket thickness, valves stem height increases with valve jobs and not all will cut the stem height back to factory tolerance.


Heads milled
Valves faced/ground
Seats ground
Gasket maybe thinner

All that equates to... is the necessity of a shorter push rod.

As above, there are variables that are unknown (to us). What head gaskets did you use? Out of a standard Felpro kit?
