I can run the spraybars again, and try that.
Doug, a couple of years ago i talked to jesel and one of the guys admitted to some issues with side loading. IMHO it might have been the combination of the 3/8 pushrods and harsh cam causing harmonic issues, then this failure could have been only the chewed up washers, but that would still point to some side loading. This is a megablock tall deck combo, by the way, with offset lifters. Pushrods are Manton , mostly 1/2 inch,had to use four that are 7/16 for clearance. The pushrods are tool steel, as thick as they make. The failures were random in the past, these last two after a lot of changes.
