Don`t forget that as of this year, we can now use guide plates, so screw in studs are a viable option to the shims or z@#%&** adjustable pushrods!

I had a handful of rat motor valve springs shims left over from the Vega days. Just cut them up with tin snips, drilled a 5/16 hole and party on Garth!!
