Have you thought about using lash caps?
I checked across the tops of the valves with a machinist straight edge and feeler gauges, the largest gap is .009, a couple at .006.
I'm pretty sure I will be told that is within spec.
At this power level and lift you think he should "call someone" or just run some stock stamps ? Personally, I think this is getting over thought...
To be clear, and I don't think I was. The initial install was with the old rockers and shafts. That experience pushed me toward adjustable rockers.
I have used stock length cup and ball pushrods, measured 7.500
Yes...maybe aftermarkets don't need groves. Every set of factory iron adjustables I've seen have had the grooves.
I think 340's had grooves. 273's no.I have a set of factory 273 adjustable rockers without grooves. Not all came with grooves.

I'll make a suggestion: Take the following numbers and put them in a table per cylinder number:I don't know what to do at this point. I bought new stamped rocker arms and rocker arm shafts. Preload is still all over the place, I'm told this is normal for dodge. Doesn't seem normal to me.
Everything is new or rebuilt, refurbishing the adjustable arms is expensive and I would need new pushrods.
Or, take it to the machine shop that built the engine and let them deal with it, which would probably be cheaper in the end. Not better, cheaper. I'm already out of money.

You're seriously quoting me from something I said three months ago! This is a joke right? I have to go read through this whole entire thread to find out where it's at and what I said three months ago? Forget it! This is somebody else's problem probably! That they fixed 2 months ago likely.It's sorta like a Dana 60. Do you want an 8.250 that "might" break, or do you want a Dana that will "NEVER" break? Those ductile rockers properly prepared will never break at his power range and they are reasonable prepared right. Do it once. Do it right.
