This is for you and Chris, I figured it was an evo based on your e-mail
address.

I use the press to swap your stock cam gear onto the new cam, to maintain
original gear fitment.
(assuming it was tolerable prior to taking it apart)

The lathe I use to bore out the upper (inner) pushrod tubes to make room for
the fat
S&S chromoly adjustable pushrods that I like so much (affordable and more
importantly,
-straight-)
The ID of the tube is 5/8 inch, but at the top they swage the end to make a
lip for
the o-ring to sit on, and it collapses the ID of the tube at the top,
I just bore it out enough to take out the crushed area. It's a lesson I
don't want to learn
twice.
