Street Cruser

First - I had to change some of what I wrote (edited)- my fingers were typing while my mind was still ingesting caffeine! And I hadn't had much.

The tip length was incorrect, I meant to say .365 and .240 and for the uppermost part of the tip.

As for guides, I misguided you on this one (coffee again). The pushrod guides (to the best of my recollection) are not used when the rail rockers are employed on this engine. Why? Just a hunch, but perhaps because that would be overkill - at least from Ford's perspective (as the manufacturer). Either rail or guide will help keep the pedestal rocker on the straight. I recall my 289 having rail rockers, and no pushrod guides.
