i got a new cam put in and it has a 484 lift w stock rods and springs
well we tightened the rockers just right so no prob there
but i got on it a while ago and i hear tapping noise and my friend say that its a bent pushrod
IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS THAT BAD?
whats to say if i put a new rod that it doesnt bend up either?
WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THIS ?
THX

Sounds like a bent pushrod to me. If you tighten your rocker's up too tight it will bend a pushrod. Been their done that. It's not fun.
