My 2cents.

1. Buy a new DOVE rocker. 2. Check the others for damage from the long pushrods. If others are damaged, you may want to consider going to something else, but if just one, save your money. 3. Get a new set of pushrods that are the correct length. Many here can guide you through the measuring process, I can't. 4. Put it back together and enjoy your ride.

As you know, George at Gessford has DOVES on his motor. If they were pieces of "s-it", he would be running something else. He certainly buys rockers cheaper than you or I do.

My rockers are 16 years old. Jim Dove built my motor in 1993. His design has changed a little and I have decided I am going to replace these with his new design. That way, everything still fits...no new pushrods, etc.

Anyway, good luck. This kind stuff can drive a man crazy.
