Not winning - valve geometry

Hi group.

Finally got my heads yesterday. Today, I'm set to get my car running
again... but wait! Could there be _more_ surprises? But of course!

Pushrods are too short. From the look of the adjusters, geometry was never
right. In fact, I notice that the rocker arms are free to slide back and
forth about 1mm on the fancy hich-tech solid rocker shaft. In retrospect, I
can now see why it destroyed a valve guide (though a kindlier engine would
have kept it in the port, and not sent a piece into the cylinder

Anyhow, Monday I'll order new adjusters, a set of cut-'em-yourself
pushrods, and shaft spacers/shims.

Anybody ever buy from http://www.chircoestore.com ?

Also, opinions on swivel-foot adjusters vs. standard are appreciated.

And, no, I don't know what cam lift is, nor do I know what the rocker ratio
is. Pulled the oil pump hoping to see something, but there's no marking.
bolt-on gear, though.

Ya gotta love getting stuck with someone's half-baked crap.
