the ball end of them was grinding off in the lifter cup. After looking at the roller lifter a little closer, I noticed the cup looked like it was too small for a 3/8" ball end. It was.
When I was checking my Indy pushrods in the lifters they didn't sit right. I coated the tip with a magic marker then fit it into the lifter and it showed a ring where it was only making contact with the edge of the cup. ???! So then I checked the ball and cup with radius gauges. The cups were 3/8" dia. but the "supposedly" 3/8" dia. pushrod tips were off. Indy has them back and I've ordered Smiths.
FWIW, Smiths pushrods come in .050" increments which is one thread of an adjuster screw.

Smith bros will make you any custom length as well and you will still have them at your door in a few days.
