Pushrods
I have called Aerosport and they say this is a common problem on brnad new engines. They will be sending me new 35's to do all of the intake rocker arms gaps. I had some older overhauled ones that look like they had the tips ground down a bit. I used them for trial fitting and they brought me down to .050 gaps. That's closer to the middle. I will be putting the new Lycoming ones in instead. This is a brand new engine and I will not have overhauled parts on it except for maybe the fuel injection servo. Not that overhauled parts are bad, it's just that I always wanted a new engine from the start. FedEx will have them to me by Monday morning and I will install on Monday afternoon. I will then get all of the valve covers installed and be ready to put on Mags. I still have to find out how many revolutions there is on the windup spring for the impulse coupling. Mine came undone and I have to wind it back up. After that the only thing left over will be the fuel injection system, starter and alt installations.
