LT-1 with LT-4 Heads; RR; double springs; 7/16 Rocker studs
I am replacing some engine components after a head gasket blew. This question is about my Roller Rocker Setup...
So the ideal length pushrod for my setup (as far as roller against valve tip is concerned) causes the rockers to slightly rub against the base of the rocker studs. The original pushrods that I removed seemed too long; maybe the builder may have just been a little lazy.
Anyway - is there any guidance from the gurus out there; should I grind .150" from the base of each stud or take the same from the base of each rocker arm?
Any other bright ideas?
Oh - and I have measured it about 4 times using checking pushrods and valve check springs - and I have been careful not to preload the lifters for the measurements
