The Dust-Turd project.
So we received the correct .290 offset intake rockers from Harland Sharp and the correct length Smith Brothers pushrods on Monday. Cleaned everything up and got them installed on the motor. Didn't notice this until I was done..........
Oops! the rocker will not allow the valve cover to seat. Called HS and the said to just contour the corners on the 4 end rockers and all is good. OK.
The tech from HS said they may be a clearance issue with the valve cover in the intake side...........Yup. Started it up and could feel them hitting the cover. On their recommendation, took the rockers off and cut .080 off the adjuster flat end. Said it will not void my warranty. Started it up and it's all good. Need to get it up to temp and then re set the valves tomorrow and hopefully have time to change the oil pan. I'l, try to remember to snap some pictures of the cut rockers.
Speaking of oil pans, as an FYI, the road race Milodon pan part number 31580 from Summit suggests windage tray 32005. Nope, will not fit without hacking a holes for the pick up tube. 32006 is the correct pan according to Milodon. I will update at to the fit after install.
