John, you fell victim to the "someone sold the wrong Ford lifter"
problem. We have run into this a couple times where the lifter cup and
push rod ball don't "like each other". We supply roller rockers
($285/set), hardened shaft ($69) and tubular alloy pushrods ($69.95).
Pushrods available in 2 different tube diameters - 5/16"and 3/8" and
whatever length needed.. We will also produce billet pedestals if you
want. A caution about the use of needle bearing pivots in the rocker
arm. Needle bearings, by design, allow oil to "fall out"of the bearings.
And they are extremely hard. Needle bearings are great support for a
rotating device such as a shaft where it rotates completely. But, a
rocker arm only moves through a small part of an arc and can cause
excessive wear to shaft. Our roller rockers are bushed with a design
that forces oil to lube both the roller tip and pushrod cup. Please let
me now if we can help. Thanks, Ted
