precisely.. I have a lot of experience with Woods cams.. Fast ramps require more preload.. At 19 flats your only at .098" preload, .140" (27 flats) is the go to for Woods cams just make sure you have .200" travel lifters and not short travel like tdrglide said..

They are full travel Fueling lifters. Awesome sauce, thank you!

I'd put limiters in the lifters.. Other wise, run pushrod 1 -2 turns tighter until they don't come loose. Back of the pushrod until it loosens enough to turn and go 1/4 turn more. Lock it down..

UPDATE: Figured out the rear rocker box has a clearance issue. Shouldn't have since I took off more meat than suggested but here I am, pulling it back off. Thanks for all the help fellas.
