"In my case" it does not, since I corrected it as outlined in my post. Apologies for leaving that out.

I don't mind hydraulic lifters. The problem with the slant is, it was never redesigned to use hydraulic lifters. The lifters do not get pressurized oil from an oil galley. They rely on "backwards oiling". Through the block, through the head, into the rocker shaft, through the rockers, down the...

I'm running a mechanical camshaft. That's really the only way to go on a slant six.

Oh trust me, I'm not out to prove me right and someone else wrong. How small minded is that? I just realized I failed to include relevant information and came back and did so. Remember, there's always more than one way to skin a dog.....I like cats. lol But in this instance, pushrod length is...

And just so you know, I am specifically speaking about "THIS" particular engine and "ANY" slant six engine that "I" build. I checked geometry with the stock head. It was actually almost spot on. So much so, I decided to leave it unchanged with the heavily milled head. I did that, by...

No sir, I'm not, but I'm not going to argue about it either. Thanks for your opinion.

Nothing, really. It's a stock fresh rebuilt short block that I put a heavily (.155") milled head on. I had originally planned on the obligatory .100" head mill....BUT on the last cut, the head slipped off one of the clamps on the broach and the machinist didn't catch it in time. He tried to...

That looks like a small block rocker. They won't fit. I WISH! Big block rockers don't fit either. The slant six's rockers are a good bit longer than both the small and big block. I wish they would interchange, then slanters could have some decently affordable HP rockers available, instead of...

Well somebody better tell me, because I just assembled this with a head that was cut .155" and the original pushrods fit just fine. Pushrod length has squat to do with where the rockers engage the valve stem. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. As long as they are not too long and will FIT between the...

I know this is an older thread, but I believe I can add some useful information. The slant six cylinder head is one of few made where you can measure actual thickness of the head between the machined surface of the valve cover rail and the block mating surface. Generally speaking, an unmilled...
