pushrod clearance issues
well I went to adjust the valves on the new 327 engine i built and #3 and 6 intake pushrods need more clerance thru the 292 head. i checked it and did it before it got to this stage. i don't see what changed. anyhow. anyone know some trick , you don't have to take it all apart again , way to open up the pushrod passages a little bit. I think i'm not going to bother with it till next week. enough already.

Did you change to 1.6 rockers ? Anyway put some rags in the valley and top of the head, take a round file or die grinder and open them up, do them all now and vacuum up after

1.6 ratio brings the pushrod closer to the rocker stud. The only fix I have ever used is longer valves used in conjunction with longer ARP rocker studs and longer pushrods
