...just went by what supercomp said as I never messed with offset stuff before >>>BUT<<< it took until I emailed Bigtime a pic and the offset is supposed to be towards the exhaust lifter not away as listed in the post below!
I knew it!!! It was Supercomp's fault all along for not making certain you understood what he told you. I doubt he'll let you throw him under the bus again. I will give big props to Bigtime for being patient and helpful. I doubt this post will change how you operate but, as a business I personally would not do business with you based on how you've been posting during the whole process of your build. IMO you have bashed BEST, and Trend and then backpeddled. Yet the truth is not out. Noone, including you, knows what the real reason of the failure is because you have not taken the correct steps to validate measurements during building. I really hope you take this constructively and we move on because it appears you have built a cool car there. People here have been willing to help with good advise etc. so, you can do it yourself, and save or have some satisfaction.
 It took about 5 seconds to blame Trend and 3 weeks to finally admit he screwed up. What's the big deal, we all have and will hopefully live to do it again. Live, learn, and try again. You have a very nice car that runs great.!!! Now go enjoy it.

HardcoreB...... plese re read what I posted all above! Show me one time where I bashed Best Machine? look through all the posts how I said this had nothing to do with Best Machine from the get go! I also talked to pete and also said this had nothing to do with him! Yes I went by what supercomp said but clealry stated "I" missed it regardless and it was MY fault "Yep sure did... I missed that one all my fault"..... you twist it all you want I dont care.. obviously your pro Best Machine by your sig! which shows your attiitude and mis reading of posts.. you "edited" this out of your quote for some reason??? "Yep sure did... I missed that one all my fault and it had nothing to do with the pushrod deal !" Have a nice day!

...(do a search hardcoreb). They sold me the heads... then sold me the T&D rockers. the T&D rockers they sold me would not clear the spring package they put on the heads (yes I posted about this in the past) I sent my heads back and Best Machine made it right! Great company thanks Pete
That's how I remember it happening. Someone help me dig up that old post. At first you were flipping out, all mad at them and even named the shop. Look I'm not here to go back and forth...just want to move along and enjoy or not enjoy your progress. All I'm saying is please think about how people are going to perceive what you post before you submit. And I recognize that every once in a while someone's gonna be offended by what you or I say.

I still have never seen one snap in the middle like that. I used to run 3/8ths .135 wall manleys and never broke one.
I now have 7/16ths .165 walls and picked up 700 rpm. So my old ones were flexing.
 No kidding..........man that really makes one think about this stuff.  How much spring pressure you running on that beast.
Hmmm..... 700 turns on just a push rod change...... Wow
