Bent up stuff

I

In all fairness I feel like this wasn't exactly my screw up other than trusting someone who I perceived as to knowing what they were doing. Since I don't know very much about valvetrain geometry, I employed the help of my local machinist where they machine race motors. Seemed totally plausible to me. He does know some stuff, but in this case he dropped the ball. He's young and got in over his head on this Mopar valvetrain stuff. A lesson learned for me. I have a feeling he isn't done though because he ground through two sets of LS Chevy heads while porting them to the point where they couldn't be fixed. He hasn't apologized to me either after making him aware that the springs he ordered and installed for me are collapsed and in a bind. To further confuse things he insisted that my pushrod length wasn't that important due to having adjustable rockers. In my mind I am thinking that yea, but you can only adjust so much and a longer rod means longer travel for the rocker. He was fixated on the stationary point of the axis. Pointless to argue. I just gave up.
