The Wonton

Those poly locks still clear the valve covers? Nice.

Glad to hear you are getting it sorted out.

The pushrods were labeled 7.650/8.700 like planned correct?

Its interesting they were longer, as often they can measure slightly shorter because of the oil holes.

This is probably good because I think he could use longer but was afraid to test without adjustable pushrods(that can get expensive).

Yeah, I didn't think the poly locks would clear either. But we threaded one one on and left it a couple turns above zero lash, then test fit the valve cover. It still fit. Once it was all said and done, if you bop your hand on the passenger valve cover, it "kinda" sounds like it might be tapping up against one, but it's quiet when running.

I did snap a few exhaust valve pictures, showing no, mid and max lift:

Maybe I’m just crazy, but there seems to be more sweep across the stem now. But it's not focused to one side or the other.
