Preload question/valve train geometry question
Hey guys
I just pulled my lifters 43,000 miles and noticed they had some nice scuffing on the sides. I was wondering if I have correct valve train geometry. This setup always made a decent amount of valvetrain noise but I was trying to not have preload. The car ran great and made great hp/tq #`s
My setup is as follows
6.0 heads milled .40
mti r1 cam .30 smaller base circle than stock ?
7.35 pushrods
Now I am wondering if I Should I be running the 7.4 length pushrod? Am I giving up lift with my setup?
Also what is my current compression ratio with these heads
thanks
