Problem with timing an Evo
Ok, put everything to where it should be and torqued bolts down. Gonna have a beer and wait an hour and check them. Let the waiting begin!
Once again thanks to you guys responding, if I could buy you beers I would.

Do the lifters have travel limiters in them? If they do, with an cometic HG, valve job, cleanup mill of the heads, pushrod may actually be too long..
BTW Johnson Hylift lifter leak a bit faster than original SnS lifters I had in my SnS113 motor circa 1998.. When I was going valve train noises on my 113, I compared the originals with a new set of Hylifts.

My cometic gasket isn't .030 but .040. Either way I'm gonna check them in an hour if no good gonna give it over night and check in the morning. If I still can't spin them I'm gonna just put the Smith Bros in and call it a day.

Ok quick update: Both exhaust pushrods will spin and both intake pushrods will not so I'm gonna wait till tomorrow morning and check them then. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again!

Ok quick update: Both rear exhaust and intake spin on base. Front exhaust spins on base but front intake still does not. That's strange that 3 work but 1 doesn't. I guess I'm in a holding pattern, either that lifter bleeds down more or the install of the new pushrods happens when they arrive.
Enjoy the weekend guys and be safe. I'll report back any changes.

An easy way to verify is have the intake open on the rear then check the front.
