hey just an update

heres the skiny on my lifter noise. well i built a 302 for my bronc i have a engine out of a early 80's mustang its a non **, so i put a 2 steps above RV roller cam and roller lifters in her. well the boys at delta cam gave me the stock pushrods for a ** motor that are 6.250 long, finally got it dialed in i actually had to get 6.350 long pushrods to make up the .080 gap at the valve, the extra 20 is for preload on the lifters. so if anyone swaps a roller into there engine remember to go .100 to .120 longer than the ** pushrods
