Max lift on stock guides and seals?

I bent all 16 pushrods due to coil bind on a 79 360. The cam lift was 480 advertized with 1.5 rockers.

Interesting.

I'll have to check max lift on these springs @ recommended install height, against install height measured on what I have.

I'm wondering if you didn't have the same problem as above, with retainer to guide clearance? 587 heads are 2.02 1.60 360 heads.

As it was a long time ago, I'd ask if you saw the coils binding, or if there was any measurable gap in the wire, but that seems moot at this point.
