 As you can see the pushrodsavings are too long, I have a spare set that I was going to trial As they are 1 piece I was going to trim them down using a pipe cutter and tidy up on a bench grinder for testing but would they be OK to round off on the lathe for the proper set? |

It looks like there's some odd parts in there ...
Any chance the pushrods are from the wrong motor or there's pedestals are too short?
Are you thinking of cutting the pushrods? Guessing you will have problems getting the ends right ... Good luck ☺

No the head and block were skimmed the rockers are standard and the followers are new but made to original specifications.
The only thing that it can be is the pushrods

Hi, the later Kent engines had short and tall blocks for the different capacities, the difference being 7/16". So you could have the 'wrong' pushrods.
