A cautionary tale when working on push rods

CHARLES FEARNEYHOUGH said

That's interesting. The lifters and pushrods are both CompCam components designed for this motor. the rockers are Harland Sharp also designed for this application and with a 5/16 ball adjuster.

In the image I have provided the bottom rod is the CC and the top rod is the Smith Bros. Are these examples of std and radius ball end? I'm not familiar with the actual definition of the terms.

Yes.
Now... the pushrod 'bottom in pic' looks like the typical comp cams blunder... you end up having the dress the edges of the rounded end where it goes straight because those running at the 59 degree lifter angle are going to do 2 things... not seat right ... and dig into the lifter cups.
Had it happen. Its searchable under another name 3404spd or 1wild.
I run the Smith bro radius at the lifter and a cup at the top. Seem maybe radius at both would be the ticket if that's the style adjuster you have, cup?
