Yes both lifter and rocker were punched thru. Can't figure out why piston to valve clearance or spring tension would become an issue at this point?? Motor probably had 3000 miles on it with this setup. Any ideas? By the way thanks for all the input and help.



Was the block decked and the heads surfaced also ? Adding shims under the rocker shafts is the WRONG way to fix what is one of your real issues ... pushrods that are TOO LONG.
