my push rods spec out a 10.375 inches which is shorter than stock? I am confused as to why they need to be shorter than stock in order to achive proper geometry. Where can I get shorter than stock push rods? the ones you buy that are adjustable can only be shortened .375 inches.
some how some thing is screwed up.
parts used:
Web cam 163/86b
Ceramic lifters
78.8 stroker crank
96mm clynders with .160 spacers
swivel ft adjusters
1.7L rockers

WTF

I'm sure being an older guy like me you realize that when something doesn't seem right that there are 3 posiblilties. 1) you screwed up and you need to stop and recheck things. 2) you misunderstood things or mismeasured or missed something and need to stop and recheck things. Or 3) something is all fu*ked up in your head or the engine and it will become apparent if you wait awhile (clue have a few beers and look at it in the morning), so stop and recheck things. Patience is a virtue that comes with age.

Besides tomorrow someone will have a better answer than mine.
