It’s hell to get old. Rocker clearance

Ohhh well I did four rockers and figured I’d give it a try. Pushrods must still be hitting the damn heads. Time for a few days off and possibly stripping these heads down and using my other set of stock location pushrod heads.

well I took my little break and watched some great golf and some drag racing and collected my thoughts. I already had bluing on the pushrods so I touched it up and blued the spring pocket area on the rockers. I put two rockers on the shaft and bolder it down and it was the spring pocket area that needed more grinding. I found two then checked two, ground two checked two. Very slow process taping them up, cleaning them, putting them on the shaft and bolting them down. Then taking it back off and starting over with two more. Well I just finished it up at 6pm and everything is good to go. Damn this sucked bigtime. I should be pulling my other engine and bolting this one in this weekend
