Puzzling problem - please read!

They told me that the heads were from ARE who have been split up for almsot 6 years now. They told me the springs are cmp 918's and I contacted chris Mays and found out that the springs have to be at elast 4 years old because they have no blue stripe.
The pushrods say Thunder racing chromeoly 7.350. Speed inc also said it has an SLP oil pump and double roller timing set. I added the ARP rod bolts.
The cam the guy before me had in it was a comp 224/228 .581/.588 on a 114lsa and base circle was the stock size. I upgraded to a 228R which has a smaller base circle. So by this guy using a 7.350 PR it made me think that the heads were milled.
***I've tried calling and e-mailing AutoWorx which is now what ARE used to be, and asked about the heads but never got any replies or even a call back.

Charle, I know you are frustrated but keep your cool and think about that.
You wanna use a marker to see a swipe pattern and see if your Pr's are longer or shorter?
That doesn't even sound like you bro!
Just get the checker and save yourself some added aggravation and save those Ti valves of yours!
Just my .02 cents BRO!

oh teddy has one so that isnt a problem. I jsut remember seeing that in a sticky to see the wipe pattern. Kind of a no cost way of seeing if something is way off to begin with. I didnt read all of it, so maybe it was for something else, jsut throwing it out there,
So please, educate this youngin'!

Well when I talked to you the other day and we talked about the cam, did ya get all that lined up? I really think that was the problem, the TDC thing. But if you have a length checker at your disposal, then dont hesitate to use it. When the insurance is cheap, take as much as you can.
Also, I know that Ive seen around here where people use different length pushrods to help quiet up valvetrain noise, so I suppose maybe thats a possibility. I dunno.

You need an adjustable push rod length checker to verify length. Cheap. Easy. sellable. DO IT. And yes get the copper spray too

Like I said, Teddy has one so I'll use it. The copper spray, ehh I'll elt him give the final word on it, if he feels it wont need it then im not gonna bother.
However the marker thing, hey jsut saw it in a sticky and I thought id throw it uot there and I learned something

Sorry for no updates altely folks, Ive been very sick (as usual) and havent been able to get out. I got the whole coughing up blood thing going again with my lungs but hopefully I'll be able to get that sprocket off this weekend and get my timing set up properly
