I am between sizes on pushrods and get a little bit of a tap between them and the rockers. I heard there were spacer shims for the pedastal base of the rockers to compensate a little. If so who sells them? Any help is appreciated.

If it's tapping, you don't need shims, you need longer pushrods.

-I have one set of push rods that are too long and dont allow the valves to completely close and another set that are a little too short allowing a tap. I've been running the shorter ones for a while and it does'nt look like theres any abnormal wear but the tap is annoying. I should have specified better, thanks JohnB.
