I posted about the broken pushrods a couple months ago. I took the heads to the machine shop, and his conclusion was that there was inadequate valve spring pressure. I believe I checked it to be around 105 on the seat ( very low for a solid roller). But I thought my gauge was inaccurate. It's a moroso seat pressure tester. Also, the locks were too far down in the retainers. I don't know if it was 7 degree locks in the 10 degree retainers, or just the wrong offset locks. I have some rockers with some indentions of the retainers in them. I just hope no one buys anything from them without checking everything. These guys are a joke. I found that I didn't get the z gap rings I paid for, the gear drive(was a stupid double roller which was stretched beyond belief), Cat roller lifters, Cat con rods, and that darn SFI Cat balancer that slips on the crank snout without even pounding it. I believe the crank may have been ground, as this balancer fits like normal on a 305 stock crank. Just beware everyone, these guys are cheap and I guarantee you will get what you pay for. Ok, enough rambling from me. Thanks for all the help everyone. Take care and aloha.
