Quote: The only thing you didnt do when you ground on them.. you should have used some finer tootsie rolls to eliminate the rough stress risers and radius it.. you most likely wont have any issues with low spring pressure and low rpm as you are... I've ground on rockers also for clearance with mucher higher spring pressures and a couple thousand more rpm and they still havent failed... just remember any sharp edge is a break point
Mr. P- Thanks so much not for telling me it's ok but for offering constructive advice. I mocked them up for the last time just now with the new pushrods and ran the valves. The adjusters are all showing 1-1.5 threads on the bottom so I'm happy with my pushrod length. The retainers don't want to hit. Next is measuring them for side to side clearance and laying out shims before installation.
So I'll definitely get them all smooth with some sandpaper tootsie rolls when they come off this last time.
Bedtime for me gotta wake up and make the doughnuts!
