Doing my heads/can swap and I’m dropping the pushrods in. 2 of them are sticking up more than the others. Is there any reason why that might happen? Lifters we’re installed correctly I assume because they only went in the tray one way so I don’t think I messed them up. A few stuck up put with a little pressure they were seated. Any suggestions?

 

Well, could be that those pushrods happen to be on the lobes reflecting open valves?
mare we taking a huge difference or a small difference?

 

I was thinking that but the difference in height is night and day. A few were like that but with a little pressure I was able to seat them and they looked like the rest that were open and or closed.

 

Get yourself a flashlight and make certain the PR is in the lifter cup because it's easy to misalign them, especially with link bar style lifters.

 

I rotated the engine and the 3 that were clearly higher than the others fell into place so we lookin good.
