Turns out I bent my rocker studs at some point, maybe when I stepped on the gas and the boost guage went to 9 psi.
Strange because I was running stud girdles...
And I'm dealing with rocker tip alignment with the new 1.65ers. Going to get the new studs first, then try some lash caps to offset the difference.
Funny thing is, with a 1.65 ratio the pushrod should be at more of an angle, and therefore I should have had a problem with them being too short, but they are too long. So it must be just the design difference between ProComp and Harland Sharp. Because theoretically the 1.5 Harland Sharps should make the problem even worse.
