Has anyone ever seen a small groove milled into the back of the rear main lower half-as though it was supposed to carry away oil leakage past the seal? Oil comes down out of this groove on...

Brent,
Are you using bolts or studs to hold down the rockers? If bolts , it's possible that you are bottoming out before fully torquing down -thus the stands lift throughout the valve train causing...

Tony,
I had a pair of 1850's on progressive linkage before I changed to a pair of 450 4160's (forget the number) Wasn't a problem because the geometry for most of these 4160's is the same.
