crane cam gold roller rockers small block LA

In your second photo it looks like the adjuster isn't very far out of the rocker body, like your pushrods are a tad too long. Those pushrods look aftermarket and have quite a cup. That cup needs clearance between it and the rocker body. Just an observation. I also noticed in the first photo that the adjusters stick out of the top of the rocker arm quite a bit.
They are set to zero lash and yes i did have to shorten them i didnt shorten them by much so I may need to shorten them some more.
