7mm (.2755) on the PS side. The 3rd bolt will have to be walked out with a wrench but not impossible.

So if anything your motor is minutely closer to the centerline of the car. Interesting.

I may actually be doing it soon because I want to ditch the stock pushrods and put some beefier ones in. As much as I find the limiter, I figured it would be in my best interest to have some valve train rigidity.

I am convinced that at least one source of the "hemi tick" is pushrods being a touch short. When they press the balls into the tubes, I think sometimes they bow the tube and end up with a pushrod that is shorter than speck.

So better pushrods make a ton of sense to me.
