check the cam and lifters to make sure the cam did not wipe out a lobe or two.

I'm hazy on valve train geometry and trying to make sense of it but I'm thinking on hyd that if the preload is right (however many thou) that all is good. I would go to the Hughes site and read their info. They want the right length p rod so at a certain % of gross lift (40% if SB & 50% if BB or vice versa) that the pushrod and the rocker arm should form a T when viewed from the front (which means each cam would need diff p rods) and then the wipe pattern needs to be checked/changed if needed.




Not to highjack the OP thread, but altering the PR length will not change the angle between the PR and the Rocker. This angle can only be changed by moving the pivot point of the rocker further up or down…

I thought I read somewhere tho, in order to get the right preload for a non adjustable valvetrain u have to get the right length pushrods. also if the valve springs are so weak that i can push the valve open with my thumbs would that have something to do with this also? what is the stock open and closed pressures?

If you want to talk about 340's - get to the track with Darby, and find me. Darby should know who I am from my signature.
I might be able to help.
