Questions about a 2006 5.7
so, exhaust pushrods are supposed to be 8.080. Do the measurement and it is 7.980, so 8.080 would be .100.
Try to check the work. Keep tightening the pushrod checker until the exhaust valve remains open, turn it back to close, measurement is 8.119. That gives me .134 travel in the lifter.
Does it sound like the pushrods are already too long and when they expand do not allow the lifter to refill with oil since there is only .034 in travel left?
the intake side is really hard to adjust, but came up with the same scenario.
