Again nothing wrong with what you are saying Scott, but I haven’t had any FE engines eat pushrods. Are you seeing that as an issue? I just don’t fight any pushrod issues in any rocker design

I have seen some very high mileage hyd cam motors that the top ball will wear like an elf hat, but that’s stock cores at disassembly

Between using T&D and factory non-adjustables with non-oiling pushrods, I have plenty of combos out there running in this fashion.  Most are hydraulic rollers with open spring pressures between 350-400 lbs.  The passage passes more oil than what you think and I restrict the T&D's down quite a bit since they are a needle bearing fulcrum.

They are here.....

HS told me that they could get me a set out quicker if I could just take their standard orange anodization, so that's what I did.  When I sell these in the future, they will have the natural aluminum flavor like my non-adjustables. 

The adjuster installs from the top and has a nice oil band on it that is actually quite large, so it will pass oil in a wide range of adjustment. 

I will be trying them out on the 352 and then I'll offer them up for sale. 

Pics will follow.

Looks like the same screws used in the POP's.

You know, I didn't think the POP rockers would oil both ways, but after looking, it appears that it will.  I don't think I'll pursue this any further since there is already an option like this out there.

   The rocker strength is certainly improved! Direct oiling the pushrod seat is a real plus too.
