In the posting above I said
"I fitted the push rods and found that they seem to be too short, not sure what I going to do yet, but it looks like I need some 0.4 longer."
I have found I had the wrong size Poly-locks, the ones I have are for fitting on true roller rockers and not the pressed type I am using. The problem was that when adjusted the lash, the top of the poly-lock was flush with the top of the stud, so there was no room for the lock screw.
So yesterday morning, I ordered a set of longer ones and some lash caps from Real Steel, they arrive not long after I opened up at nine this morning, so this afternoon, I tried one for size and its solved the problem.

No, they are long nuts with a grub screw in the top, you adjust the tappet and tighten the grub screw onto the top of the stud to stop it coming loose.  The Cunning Coupe |

Until Tuesday, the Coupe has lived behind (That's only when its open) the gate up the top of the yard, its a bit of a pain, when I want to work on it as I always need someone to help get it back in place when I've finished. The recovery truck on the other hand lives down the bottom of the yard. So I asked the boss if I could change places and he said that I could. So we did. This morning when I got into work, the young boy had opened up and said that there was a problem and pointed down the yard, I hadn't noticed when I walked in that the truck was now back down the bottom, had hit my trailer and pushed through the wall and railings behind. Luckily there was not much damage to the trailer with it comfined to bending the bar holding up the ramp and the light guard getting a bit bent (Saved the lights) We never leave the handbrake on as the truck hardly get used these days and it seems like the boss had forgotten to put it back in gear after he started it yesterday and sometime during the night it had decided to go back where it lived  It could have been worse and landed up on Pandy Square down below and the damage has been repaired, just the wall and railings to fix now  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe |

Sheesh, that could've been a lot worse Tony. A narrow escape.
So is the coupe O.K?

The latest saga with the valve gear. When I thought I had solved the problem with the valve lash. It is the first time I have used Poly-Locks, I was not happy with the amount of grub screw sticking out the top. I did a search for longer push rods and found that the 460 Ford used a 3/8 x 8.68, these are 0.28 longer than the standard 351c ones. Yesterday morning I ordered a set of Comp Cams Magnum ones from Real Steel and they arrived this morning. During a bit of spare time this afternoon I fitted them and I am very happy with the result. Below are the locks as there were, the shorter push rod sat on top of the new ones and the locks as they are now.  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe  The Cunning Coupe |
