Pushrod Rub (Intake side of head)

Glad you worked it out. The covers shouldn't put up too much of a fight. I don't think it was mentioned, but did you consider going to a 1.6 rocker? That would have moved the push rod towards the rocker shaft (I think?), probably centering it in the hole through the head. Obviously you used what you bought and it would've been more cost to get a set of 1.6, but you would gain some lift too.

After the second time I put the heads back on and I still needed more, yeah, I considered it. I did some calculations and figured they would get me another .050-.060 of clearance.

But, I bought the correction kit from Mike at B3, and I've already changed the cam lift the max amount he recommended without needing a different setup.

After a day to cool down, I took them back off and third time was the charm.
