They used new push rods. Ill check the invoice to tell you what they are.There should be 4 rockers made that way,2 for each side of the engine.As Ron said,something looks off on those rockers on number 7 cyl.so have them check that.What are you using for push rods anyway.The old ones will not work,too long.
@Don Jacks, the shop guy says it's the nuts that are hitting. They took them off and it still wasn't enough clearance. Need a 1/2" extra to clear. And they aren't just touching a little, they are touching a lot. Without the lock nuts on, it almost clears.There should be 4 rockers made that way,2 for each side of the engine.As Ron said,something looks off on those rockers on number 7 cyl.so have them check that.What are you using for push rods anyway.The old ones will not work,too long.
Made complete sense when you said it. Me too. Looks like they have been engineered for Big blocks but not with the 348/409 in mind, so this could be specific to BB stock valve cover perhaps?!?I would have thought that they would have needed one for each corner[4]????
The push rods appear to be 5/16 but can't tell for sure. I don't see where Show Cars lists 5/16 push rods for a roller cam. I am glad your shop guys have it covered. BTW your finished photos of the truck look great!!!@Don Jacks This is what Show-Cars spec'ed
Only 2 rounded rocker arms in the set for #1 and #8
My friend at the shop assured me that everything else is good. The 2 push rod lengths (intake set and exhaust set) are installed in the correct spot. The entire thing will be double and triple checked. It's not going anywhere until it is absolutely perfect. We have to give them some credit, they've been in business for 40+ years. Pictures can be deceiving is what he said. Told me to relax, take a sit and enjoy the show LOL
If you are referring to the last set of photos, those are from the first build dating back in 2017. The heads were the smaller 791 heads. And the Moon chrome covers worked well then.In your original mockup photo's are those 58 valve covers on the engine?
Yes. They are Canadian covers. No Chevy logo and they have a tab for the plug wires.I was talking about the pictures with painted stock valve covers.
I don't mind parting with it. I have to check and see where they are. DM me as a reminder and we can discuss. They might have a little dent or two if I recall. I'll check.Are you going to be using them?I'm looking for a set of 58 V/C to use on my truck,doesn't really matter to me if they have the bowtie logo or not,but I do want the 58 style without the slanted ends.I've got plenty of the later VC's just not the ones I want.
