Another thing

Bending that pushrod , would it have effected or strained the rocker arm shafts and or bolts / studs holding everything down torqued to 25 foot pounds per instructions

One of the bolts looked like it had shiny threads or filings , but the Edelbrock Heads have heli coils threaded in the rocker arm shaft attaching bosses and those threaded inserts looked brand new perfect from what I can tell

I don't know man

Got a car show with 10 moparts heading over and I have no f ing car

Guess rip everything apart again and start over

Don't know what else to do

Just frustrated , so much time between work and this , waiting for parts , powder coating , paint
