It would appear I installed the hold downs in the wrong locations during assembly. The 2 wider pieces are supposed to be in the #2 and #4 positions.

Would this mess up the proper oil flow to the rockers/pushrods?

Did I ruin my rockers? there was noise and there is visible wear but not so much I that can feel it.

Make sense? Thanks!!

Should be no reason to grind the spacers. They go in a certian order and fit with no adaption necessary. Won't hurt the oil flow. What shows wear?
