I was in touch with Mike about getting a correction kit for my "Frankenstein" 5.9L Magnum short block with custom-grind hyd roller cam and stock Magnum lifters but with LA Edelbrock heads and valvetrain. He strongly recommended going to larger-diameter pushrods which would require me to pull the heads and open up the pushrod holes even more due to the weird angle from the taller roller lifters. Idk, I want to do it but that's a lot of time, effort and money (3/8" pushrods + rocker set + geometry kit) I just don't have at the moment. I guess I should have hit him up before I put the engine together lmao.
I do worry the stock LA stamped rockers at ~.540" lift are side-loading the valve stems and wearing the tips but... gah can't let that stuff get to me or I won't be able to sleep at night.
