Sidewinders

[Glenwood]

Glen, looks and sounds great! On the ones you said looked dry, did you try reving the motor up a bit around cruising rpm to see if they oiled with increased pressure? I think as long as the pushrod cup doesn't hit the rocker arm that the length looks good.

I did try revving it but did not see an improvement. I need to take a closer look at it when I return from vacation in a few days. The pushrod cups look clear of the rocker arms throughout the range of motion. I set the adjuster balls at zero threads or approx .300 as a starting point for measuring.

sounds good
sometimes we had to take the dremel to the inside of the adjuster on the rocker
in a perfect world the pushrod and adjuster would be in a straight line at midlift
never seen it happen with the more important valve side set to mid lift

Nice work
