    Were you not paying attenetion in the other threads or are you still pissy over the whole " i passed a funeral going 5 mph in the opposite lane to prevent an accident" Stop acting like your in elementary school and grow up. I grinded down the pedestols on the other heads since the valve train wasn't right. THe pedestol i grinded down wasn't flat at the bottom, 500 lift cam broke the bolt and the intake side didnt know what the hell to do with the exhaust rocker arm getting in the way:16suspect

    My 73 302 is a positive stop rocker assembly - torque to specs and thats it.
    My Muskrat I have to maually adjust becaust I installed screw-in studs and roller rockers.
