What do you make of this, hot push rods.

Thanks everyone, most likely my final update on this until next time....

I used a round file on the 2 shims that sit on the oiling pedestals. I opened them up to match the opening on the head.

Reinstalled everything (used the slightly damaged parts for testing). Corrected lash.

Ran engine to verify oiling and it's oiling like I believe it should, plenty of oil coming out.


Parts that need to be replaced:
4 pushrods and an adjuster set.

I think going with a bit shorter pushrod would also be something to think about. Now that I have closely watched everything I can see that if the cup is high enough is could lessen the oil it gets.
