Don... the length you metioned was the full length tip of ball to flat of cup? or was it the effective length? tip of ball to bottom of cup...if it was the full length I'd have to believe one of the issues is the short push rod...the cup is about .187 deep (1/2 of 3/8") which means you have a .150 short push rod and I can believe you adjusting nut was about to fall off the threads.....with the EDE Performaer RPM you should have either standard or possibly -.050 to -.100 push rods...what's the geometry look like on the valve tip?
Why didn't you get Edelbrocks hydraulic lifters with their camshaft and went with Crane? ****No way you possibly ended up with small block lifters???**** what was the part number on the Crane lifter they sold you????I've seen this b/4 and the adjustment would be like you're describing.....
