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

Thanks for the link 66. Having a hard time sourcing custom ball/cup push rods, and want to get the engine back together. I think I may ditch the adjustables and go OEM. .080 currently on the oem's with no shim. I usually like to be somewhere in the middle of spec. Comp says .020 to .085 with their lifters.

I reserve adjustables for solid cams. Did you try Smith Brothers or Trend? Sounds like either .030 or .040 will work. It is so nice to just bolt hydraulic rocker shaft assemblies on and go. They have never given me a problem. Check retainer to rocker clearance and make sure the shaft oiling holes are oriented correctly and forget them.
