I have about 2 threads showing on adjuster and it looked like I had a good orientation for oiling but you could be right. Something heated them up.

Shaft's were installed correctly and real good oiling to the heads.

I tried to get new push rods but that isn't going to happen by Saturday. I have 3 that are fatigued in the cups. We are going to machine the cup and install new adjusters to get me on and off the trailer for the show. Then I'm going T&D, I like that set up much better. I'll have to get new push rods for those anyway so no sense wasting the money for no more than I need to run the car Saturday.
