These lifters have about .180" of travel in them so there is plenty of room. If you don't have adjustable rockers I would try a little longer pushrod. We have found that less than .080" pre-load just about always has a slight tick. Good Luck! Kevin @ Hughes Engines There you go! That makes sense. I just wish we'd discussed this when the engine was on the stand. Kevin, I'll call you Monday. ‘72 Charger, 5.9 Magnum, Tremec 5 spd., Pro-Touring ‘14 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 4x4, 1500
