The only thing you can use washers on that may have an impact, to act like a shim, is the rocker arm stud or pedestal mount bolt. Shimming the valve spring is not going to accomplish anything.

They will need to be replaced by something else.
Very interesting. Will the lifter bleed down on its own (not under pressure) within several days?Hyd. roller lifters in a non-roller block?
To your side question: I have performed several head gasket jobs on various engines over the years. If you are real good, you can have the heads off while the engine is still hot. What happens is during the dis-assembly process, one of the first things to happen is taking rocker arms off and then pushrods out. If the engine is still hot, the lifters may stay pumped up due to residual oil pressure so to speak. When you go back together, the lifter is "up" and when you set the rockers on (side note: this happens more often on pedestal mount rockers where there is no lash/pre-load adjustment, just a torque spec for the rocker arm bolt) the lifter does not bleed down, it just opens the valve instead. Even rolling the engine over will not collapse the lifter initially. It usually has to set for a while against spring pressure to eventually bleed down and close the valve and allow the engine to start.
Thanks, man. I'm sticking with it because I don't really have a good choice at this point. The money has been invested and it will be my daily. Its certainly an adventure.Wow bro, you are sticking with the car to the end and that's awesome. A lot of people will always recommend measuring for push rod length even if it's a normal combo that's been done a thousand times. Hope this solves your problem!
Considering it was every single harness bumper to bumper out of a working car, I'm not complaining. So many hours have already been spent on chasing electrical problems the $450 was welcomed. Ya feel me?$450? Did they at least give you a reach around?
That's awesome you got to drive it finally. You're almost there!Considering it was every single harness bumper to bumper out of a working car, I'm not complaining. So many hours have already been spent on chasing electrical problems the $450 was welcomed. Ya feel me?
I see it was a trade off. All points considered, I think you chose wisely. Just seemed to be slightly higher than I would have paid, but it is not for me to decide. Carry on, I have been watching with interest.Considering it was every single harness bumper to bumper out of a working car, I'm not complaining.

Would you mind watching with interest and donations???I see it was a trade off. All points considered, I think you chose wisely. Just seemed to be slightly higher than I would have paid, but it is not for me to decide. Carry on, I have been watching with interest.
