So does the adjustable pushrod have a spring in it? Like for some kind of VVT simulation?
Or is it just set once to length?

You're like an LS mad scientist.

You should invite chris and jeremy over for dinner and beer and do a QA walkthrough.

Precision in a factory design is what I like about the LS platform! I'd rather spend hours on one step to nail a tight tolerance than get a dozen items done "close enough".

Ordered custom pushrods from Manton pushrods. Super helpful, bit more than ordering off the shelf... but when figure in the rods build pretty cheap. Getting much thicker rods for $240 in 3 different lengths... and they will are building so same volume of oil will get to rockers as with stock lifters :) I asked they use a smaller oil hole for that reason and they said that is what they recommend for my build for that very reason.

Question, where can I get a differend oil spout on valve cover? And how does old one unscrew from valve cover?f343324a03ba0ddb005c5bd5a5b7eb3f.jpg5036514d052902c86da0c6d628be7a4a.jpg

FML do you guys think this weld will seal up?

I have no truck to get exhaust to shop. I suck at welding. I loaned my angle grinfer and cutoff wheel out and didnt get it back.

I cannot get welder to weld wo splattering everywhere.

Go get your angle grinder and cutoff wheel back from the ungrateful sob who "borrowed" it.
