RE: Racer Brown

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,
	A couple if questions:  Did you check piston to valve clearance?  Do
you have oversize valves in the heads?  What ratio rockers are you using?
Are the springs binding (opening to the point that the coils are all
touching and no more movement is available?

A little back ground on this subject:::
I bought a Cam Dynamics Roller Cam from an ebayer but when I installed it
along with the roller lifters and rockers, as I was rotating the crank to
cold set the lifter lash, it started bending push rods.
Nothing is binding  in the valve train.
I have Crower push rods and have bent 2, along with 6 small block push rods.
The lobes on the cam are just too high and are over compressing the springs
and causing the push rods to bend.
The guy swears he had it in a 440 for less than a summer with no problems.
If any body has a theory, please let me know.
Later
Bill
