My 422 smallblock build

as mentioned the pushrods are to short. i run the same setup for many years and never a problem. No blue tips or anything.

Thanks for the reply and pics. Those look like the same Smith Brothers pushrods that I have.

Do you guys think that the adjuster being too far through the rocker is restricting oil to the cup? And moving the cup closer to the rocker will prevent the overheating?

@9secRR , are you running different length rods for intake and exhaust? Also, how much side clearance are you running on that setup?
