Mr Beachel,
IMHO, You need to post more often...
Waaaaaay Baaaacck in My build days, there was this 'Short Fuse' 340 that would wipe
valve guides after 8 runs...
We finally figured out... heavier/ longer pushrods & raising the rocker shaft (1/8 th inch)
Transferred rotational force in a more lineal line, ... weight is (sometimes) a good thing...
Sorry for the Rant Sir!!!
