Shiney Pushrod Tip?
Just finished a head install and put new lifters in with the hope of curing my tapping noise
Should the tips of the pushrods that are against the rockers be shiney? Mine were - does that mean the preload (too much or too little?) was incorrrect or the lifters werent working?
Tapping still there
Going to recheck the rocker arm torque is 22-24 ft-lb tomorrow, but not sure what else to do. What else could cause tapping louder on driver's side?

I think you are right about the needle bearings in the rocker. Could I look at the rocker and tell ?
I had them all off and they all felt the same. But I didn't look for anything specific. I'm going to retorque them today, so I can take a look at them.
