Quote: yes you can use the 273 rocker arms and pushrods. Unlikely you did any damage.
You cannot use stock 273 adjustable rocker pushrods with a hydraulic lifter cam.
i disagree, i have done it.. i know others who have done it. and for years on end
The more I read and look into it I am starting to think the pushrod length is my culprit. This is a new issue for me. This is my 4th motor build but my first with aluminum heads. Normally I stay relatively stock with a bore change, mild cam and stock heads. How do I figure out what length pushrod I need? is there a measurement procedure?
