If your engine guy let that buy..I would tare it down 100% . And check every thing..looks like a nice peice and a ton of cash invested..but that is bad imagine what we can't see possibly..good luck..if you new everything was good..you could take some time and tape up the hole valley make foam plugs to push in to the lifter bushing.and grind them down and use a good vacuum at the same time.✌

The engine is obviously not complete, so no need to throw builder under bus without all facts. But if he has offered to fix it, I would take it back and let him do it. A different lifter might be an option, but that might change pushrod length as well. If those are just the standard Comp lifters, how much cam is in this motor?

Are you gonna take it back to the builder to correct it OR are you gonna fix it.. being that its not all together and not in the car I would fix it myself.. a rotary bit in a die grinder will fix the issue in minutes BUT then you need to pull it apart to clean... but a small notch cut in the bushing under the link arm will fix it

Could you make an on size stepped punch and drive the bushings down?

Take it apart, grind it, fix it. You will spend more time figuring out what to do, than if you just do it. Nobody wants to take apart a fresh motor, but it's a day job. Just get on it and get it done like I said in my first post and check everything really closely upon assembly... if he ground on the tie bar once and you still don't have proper clearance he was not very thorough in my opinion.... I would not trust any he did.. and yes under the bus is where he needs to go... and like Monty said it's only A-1 day job I would check piston to valve and all your clearances..

Glad to see it is going back together and looks ok. Would not use that lifter IMO with much cam at all. The lifter you have now is a much better piece. FWIW grinding bushings for clearance is not that uncommon especially when you get into big lift stuff. We had to clearance bushings and the lifters in my deal..
BTW the way the weather looks around here this winter you will be racing in no time.

Think you will be golden now. I hopefully can make it to Capital or some other track here and meet some of the local guys here. Likely our last Summer here but ya never know either. Have had a good time every trip to Capital and Mason Dixon so far. We will be racing the heads up car again out east this summer as well so hopefully I can find time to get to some local stuff. Carlisle is something I really want to attend but it just does not seem to have worked out for me

To be honest.. you could have pressed the bushings down a touch farther to clear and not torn the engine down or bought new lifters but you already did so your done on that part
