Zero Decked and Push rods
I had my block zero decked, with stock push rod lengths of 7.800 my engine (350) eats them up. I hardly over tightened them, got to zero lash and put about 1/4 a turn on each.
advice? Anyone run into this before?
I was thinking smaller push rods, but wouldn't that reduce the maximum openness of the valves?

Re: Zero Decked and Push rods
What do you mean by "eats them up"? Did you measure for the correct length?
