Default RE: VALVE NOISE? OH NO

well back to the topic guys i pulled out the drivers side valve cover and the first rocker was loooooooooseee, it was barely on there and i had them all torqued and then some. Anyways i bought the adjustable pushrod and im going to measure it when i have a chance
too busy today, i guess i have to put some lok tite on the bolts to keep them in there.The other rockers were tight but i could turn the pushrod with my hand so i figure the rods are short, ill keep you guys posted .

My setup took the stock pushrod length of 6.25" and I've had zero problems so far.
