According to Harland Sharp today, phone call..........
I need to get a single adjustable push rod, install with roller rocker, adjust to 0 lash, remove push rod, measure push rod, add .0040 for valve pre-load.
I don't think your lockers have anything to do with the noise. Bad Ring and Pinion or bad pinion bearing.
Even with an open carrier your R&P will spin....yoke will spin......DS will spin.......that fact that your mechanic does not understand that, I would dismiss him and find another one.
More than likely who ever installed the lockers failed to set up the R&P properly and now you seeing the end result.
Alright........just realized it's the loss of height by a couple of thousandths for having the deck and head resurfaced.......
Still, should I be concerned or is there enough tolerance in the lifter?
I'm getting ready to order my Harland Sharp roller rockers.
2.5 and 4.0 rockers are non-adjustable yet-
Rocker mounts on head have not been machined, cam is one step above stock, push rods are stock.
Anything I need to concern myself with here?
Thanks
Or you can just MAKE $#!& work.

Yea, you could... but I don't trust welding something like that. It would be my luck the weld breaks and then I have no brakes.
There is no lateral pressure on that weld.
That weld may not be beautiful but I guarantee you it's the strongest part of that assembly/rod.
For a fleeting moment..........no, not really.
I have searched the web high and low for months, only one other had modified the MPI intake and I could only find one other that has properly built his 2.5.
I cannot afford the science so I'm going to rely on luck and what little bit theory I've read about.
The only expectation I have of this little 4banger is pure bottom end grunt. I'm hoping to get the most out of the long runners and the mix of fuel and air at the TB and not the valve chamber. Air-flow, for the sake of massive air-flow, is not my objective here.
I never follow the path of others and I'm not afraid to stick my neck out.....we'll see where it all leads.
