    Everything looks great!
    TD doesn't use shims under the stands? I think jesel does.

    Yes, I have about .085 of shim under the stands to achieve the proper valvetrain geometry.

    Spoke with t&d about my rockers, and they were able to exchange my intake rockers for the .550 offset deals.
    wow, what a difference in pushrod clearance! Now I can fit 7/16 on intake & exhaust.

    Yeah I’m very happy with T&Ds customer service,
    Sheldon over there has been extremely helpful.
    Also, Manton is grinding 8 new pushrods for the intake side, should be done this week.

    From Manton? They built me 8 custom pushrods in 4 days. They’re local to me, so I was able to “will call” them on Friday. Fit perfect!

    A buddy of mine does hardware for a living, this is a custom 3” crank bolt. Old ARP unit only had 3/8 of engagement. New unit should be closer to .750.
