Were the bent pushrods from a Cleveland project??? First Clevor set-up I ran, could have changed my named to Mr. Push Rod Changer!!!! Finally got Mike (the other Mike, my machinist buddy) to cut down the stud bosses and put some studs and guideplates in, got a set of custom length pushrods (as in the right length), and no more problems!!!!

You're right, we didn't even know what we didn't know and went fast in spite of it!!!!
