Changing cams currently. With the manifold off it's evident that the exh pushrods are flexing around quite a bit, while the intake pushrods are not. Mine isn't the only one this happens on. It seems we're pretty much stuck with 5/16" dia pushrods with this heads combo. At full lift there's only about 0.008" static clrnc to the valve cover rail of the head. This with 1.65 rockers already too. We could hog that out some but the flex issue is what's bothersome. Current ones are the 0.080" wall I think. Question is, does anyone know of a thicker, stronger 5/16" pushrod? Or maybe a 3/8" to 5/16" tapered? TIA for any input.
