If you are going to go with those make sure to check the rocker body to stud clearence.

I'm sure they will work fine, you just have to have the correct size pushrod, and lash the rockers properly. My guess is that when they installed the rockers, they just sinched them down without even taking into account valve lash, and they were too tight to begin with.

That would be your guess, but you would be wrong.

They will work fine. I contacted crane and they said they state that so that people who do not know a lot about the motor building process will ask questions before buying them. I have new pushrods coming. I went with the 7808 comp cams pushrods.
