MORE VALVE TRAIN QUESTIONS................

I would not run a preload as light as .010". Only with the right lifter. That is one with the heavy duty snap ring retaining the plunger, instead of the small, inadequate wire clip. With only .010" preload, the plungers can and will escape the wire retainers and the plunger itself can then escape and you will lose oil pressure or worse if the plunger makes it past the lifter valley.
Shooting for .030 +/- Where should I be shopping for pushrods. I got 7.069 @ 0 preload measured from the tip to the flat top of the cup. Subtract .156 to get the length from the tip, to the bottom of the cup. I would think that 7.1 would be a good length to buy.

Do you have any suggestios as to where I can get these?
