Rollers don't operate very well when they 90 degrees to the cam lobe....  Pushrods were too long allowing them to go right past the rollers on the rocker arms and bash into the underside of the rocker arm itself. I posted all the pix in my thread, "motor work gone south".

Stop in and we can fix you up.....we had another one of theres w/only 700 miles on it....the cam button was to large and they just forced the iming cover on it so it pushed the cam backwards and had similar issues. The cam was nearly wiped out & they had a big dual quad set-up on unported heads and a baby cam. Valvetrain geometry was all wrong as well.
When we were done it made 150 more whp.
