Steve, the rockers are correctlly fitted. i'll try the 360 pushrods,rockers etc and see if that takes up the clearence. If not, i'll measure the pre-load.

i think i might still have some sb adjustable rockers somewhere, i dont think i have any pushrods tho, i could check but 'm sure the rods went, if they're any use let me know, i think they were 273 originally but i know the last set i sold to a guy who was gonna use em on a 318, so i imagine, unless anyone knows otherwise, that they'll fit any sb ? ?25 plus postfor a quicky quick sale !

273 rods are shorter and set up for the adjusters. 318 and 360 are the same length unless it's a late 318 roller.

Hugh, i'll probably take them. What pushrods would I need?

Miles, if the longer pushrods don't pre-load the lifters, you can buy adjustable pushrods.

Thanks Adam, anyone in the UK supply them?

Thats better!! Not perfect, but installing the rocker arms/shaft and pushrods has tightened things up a whole bunch. Doesnt sound anything like as rough now

the 360 gear is subtly different from the 318 stuff. The pushrods are taller and have smaller ends at the rocker tip than the 318 bits. Anyway, i might get some sleep tonight

However passenger side downpipe is touching the end of the oil filter. thereis minimal clearance between the two. Should i be concerned?

In the longer term I have 340 manifolds to fit which clear the filter by some margin.
