Finally got the heads back from the machine shop. New intake valves, all new guides, valve job. Working last night to check the push rod length. After about two hours of checking, I came to the conclusion my pushrods were the correct length.

I tried it a couple different ways. Looking for the thinnest stripe, not specifically centered. I also tried setting the pivot points of the roller and trunion parallel to the retainer (90 degrees to the valve) at half lift. All these came out to the same.

The smallest stripe I could get was 0.055 or so. Most online sites say I should be less than that. Is 0.055 a good stripe width for a .600 lift cam? I do have hydraulic lifters but am using checking springs.
