[Amc-list] rocker shims 258

[M Walter <redamc1963@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I was comparing the new pushrods I bought for my 1972 258, to the ones I took out of it.  The new ones are 9.620", and are actually longer than the old ones.  I have since found out that 72 non-shaft head pushrods can be as short as 9.595".  I haven't miked them yet.  I can't afford for them to be longer because I've taken .060" off of the head,and .010" off of the block.  I'll gain back about .030 because it had a very thin steel gasket.  So, my question is: "can I use shims on the pedestals?"  Reccomendations?    THANKS,  Matthew Walter
