do not get too violent, but you do need to put the pressure on.

push the clip into place when you have levered everything far enough

I'm trying to understand how they could be too long. If you are using the same push rod tubes, then is the head actually shorter than the stock head? Makes no sense to me.Sorry I couldn't be any help.
