I talked to my machinist tonight yesterday and he said I could possibly have a small base came which would mean I will need longer pushrods. He's going to let me use a set of those polylocks first and see if that helps or not.
He actually came to my house and took a look at my engine.
He still thiinks I need a .100 longer pushrod though.
That would also be another reason why I'm running out of adjustment on the studs.

I thought it was pretty cool of him to stop by my house and help out.
