Well, how about that. Took out those shiny billet rocker bases and put in a set of crappy looking HD OEM rockers and voila, sounds a whole lot better. Put a set of rockouts in just for the F of it. Took them apart, cleaned, loaded up with assembly lube and bolted them back together. The front set the exhaust side was a little loose, .019 endplay (I could get a .020 in with a shove) so I think I’m hearing that, but that’s ok. This was an experiment. I’ll pick up a complete new set next week. But for me, pretty damn good. Could I possibly be done???

Just so you know I've set those limited travel fuelings lifters to .083" without any issue at all So if you want to send them a little deeper you can.. on a 32 TPI pushrod You can go 16 flats no problem.. Keep in mind that these fuelings limited travel lifters are going to be a little noisier than others that I have used that have a full .200" travel..

Now you want me to add more preload? You guys love F’ing with me!I was thinking about picking up a set of SE tapered pushrods when I put the new rockers in the front. They look like a nicely designed set. The FuelMoto ones are getting a little beaten up from the repeated adjustment. Maybe when I do that.
what will the additional preload buy me?

Got a caliper? If you could, measure rocker shaft hole to rocker shaft hole on the ones you removed.. Also measure from the hole to the bottom surface..
