I am ready to do the 117 kit. If I use the 585 cam can I use the pushrods that come with the kit? I know someone will recommend adjustable push rods, (and I know they are ok, but I still prefer one piece rods). Thoughts?
I have the perfect fit pushrods that came with my kit. PM me if you are interested . I went with the SE 24 TPI Adjustable. 2.5 Turns will get you about .100 preload. I personally would use that adjustables, that way you can control your lifter pre load. Perfect fit's will work too, either way.
Take your time, pay attention to the little things, zero deck cyls, .030 gasket, 2.120 intake, just good basic stuff, nothing trick that will net you a lot. Nothing done to my heads except, milled .018 ( wet Head) , good valve job and clean up and 2.120 intake. No porting. Get a good tune! Think you will be happy with that combination. PM me if you'd like to chat.
