Stamped lifter clearance

There's no reason at
all to be grinding anything on a stock
engine setup.
This raises the question of how many rebuilds you may have actually done !! In ANY rebuild its recommended to check all clearances, passages, etc.. Why? Because of a thing called "manufacturing tolerances" !! Its why clearances are published in manuals !! Who hasn't ground off flashing, opened up holes, found clearances that were too tight or too loose ?!?! I don't think I'd want you building a motor for me if that's your attitude !!
 
Just wondering (if the engine was
running previously) why any grinding
is being done, even with new rockers
and shafts. Not trying to be
argumentive.
I just installed a new set of rockers
and shafts on a 440 (from 440 source)
with zero issues.
Checking clearances without having
everything installed (the pushrods)
is a guess at best.
Just my .02....
