Thanks guys. I am not looking to remove the heads or jugs, just the rockers to do the cam when I get to that. I will re use the stock pushrods if they are good. I'll go deeper into heads and jugs next winter if needed. I'm not looking to ride the *** off it either so the summer riding should be fine.
Low Brow Customs seems to have the best prices on Cycle Electric Alts.

If just pulling the rockers, then go HD for the needed gasket between the rocker and top of heads, the two umbrella vavles as well as the rubber rings for the rocker to middle and top covers.
Also, when pulling the push rods, make a paper list of the color on each push rods, so you put them back where they belong (they are all different lengths).
Larry for the 2303 lifters, and when you reinstall them, the holes in the side of the lifters aim at the motor, not away from the motor.
On the rocker blocks, oil passage if from the engine side to inner channel, flows around inner rocker ,than is pushed to second outer channel from the inside. So with lifter center fill holes to engine side, they get the best oil flow directly, isntead of having to flow around the lifter to fill from the other side of flow.
As for rocker blocks, make sure to pick up the centering bolts to get them correctly in place on top of case an oil passages lined up
Hence cross side channel on block to case to get block in correct index, using the other two real bolts to tighten down block, the pull the alignment bolts to install the other two bolts. And easy to see which is front block and while it rear block, but just looking at the oil passage holes to match them up the the case oil passages.
Last on on rocker plate, start with outer smaller bolts first, then larger center bolts to remove, and reverse on tightening, once you have spun the engine to get it on TDC, so cam is not pushing up the push rods as your tighten down that rocker, and go slow on tighten down the rocker center bolts still, since need to let the lifter have time to bleed down as well.
