Great thread especially the post of Doug Bruan's issue (thanks Garth I would never have thought that would be an issue). I'm a bit surprised that the Scorpion rockers Doug had, would bind (depends on cam lift), but going from a 5/16 to a 3/8's rod diameter decreases the clearance by .0313 on each side of the pushrod. I was considering larger push rods, but now realize a high quality 5/16 rod will work just as well with fewer headaches with geometry and clearances.
