You have to go to Hershey at least once in your life.
In the fall Carlisle and Hershey are only a week apart.

I have to apologize for this posting. I made a mistake putting my Y Block back together and accidentally switched the heads. Now I understand what happened and I will install a new bushing, remove the old one, same with the plugs. I appreciate all the help that is freely offered on this site.

59meteor,
It is nice to hear from a Nova Scotia resident. My Mother's family is from Nova Scotia and that is actually where I learned to take my first steps, many years ago!

So from what we could tell it's just crap quality parts. rechecked geometry and everything was correct. The pushrod guides were super soft could take a file to them and it just DUG in. Also the pushrods were the wrong style or just crap idk. They have a lip on them where they were pressed together right where they would slide on the guide. That lip just ate the guide. The new Manley guides we got are smooth and do not have the lip.

Initially we used pro comp... which I am now regretting going cheaper. The heads  are procomp so we went with the guides that came with them and procomp hardened pushrods. I have read a multitude of people telling how bad their quality is. So lesson learned. Dont be cheap😂 I will be getting the car back Saturday. My buddy has put good amount of miles on it after replacing push rods, push rod guides, oil and oil filter. And checked oil and cut old filter to make sure it caught most of the material worn from this.

Also the cooling issues are all fixed as well. Doesn't go past 190 now!
