Cam Problem!

Coyote Jack said

I feel for you bud. I just went through the same thing. I was able to track it down to, to long of pushrods causing to much lifter pre-load. I hope you have better luck than I did.

I thought about the pushrods being the problem, but when I installed the cam, heads, and 1.6 rockers I checked the length on them with a pushrod length checker kit and came up with 7" and had the correct geometry, or at least thought I did, and had Smith Brothers make up a set. But then again this is the first engine I have ever put together. Live and Learn!!!
