going to install 215 tfs heads milled to 61cc with stock MLS gaskets and Ultralite Yella Terra's along with a vengeance VRX5...does the .050 shim that comes with the yella terras gererally get the wipe close? and what length pushrods are you guys using? I have a set of TFS 7.500a now just wondering what lengths this setup gereally takes with YT rockers and this HC setup. How loud is everybody's valvetrain with these setups. Thanks
Kurt

Ideally you should check all those things yourself. Everyone's setup is different. A lot of people overlook this, but you really should get a pushrod length checker for about $20. That will give you a 100% accurate reading on what length pushrods you need to order. I'd get the valvetrain set up and then check the wipe pattern. After that just shim accordingly.

the .050 shim will get you in the ballpark range of where you need to be. But, after spending $4,000 on a h/c setup, do you want to be in the ballpark, or EXACTLY where you need to be?

Get the pushrod length checker.
