Brent Mills I am gald your motor is fixed. I see you let the cat out of the bag. Poor gemonitry on the rocker set up. Sound like you didnot need to spend that added $600 dollars? They have articles on setting up the Valve train. You should do this still to make sure no binding of the springs, valve hitting pistons, the correct wear pattern on the center of the valves. Have someone check it out before you have the same problem again. Are the new rockers pivot point higher than the old ones? I know you went from cup to ball pushrods to ball to ball , this will give you more angle for the rocker, and help keep the pushrod in place. Hope it's worked out. I guess we will see.
