[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 631775, member: 4304"] I was gonna fit the 2276 tomorrow but giving it 1 final check over we’ve discovered that the push rods run to close to the inside of the fast fab push rod tubes when at full lift due to the bigger diameter as they are dual taper aluminium rods 😑 they don’t touch but running and seeing 7000rpm we don’t want to risk them flexing and rubbing, potentially rubbing through 😳 so the only option is to get a set of tubes from JPM in Europe a his are the only sort available with a big enough internal diameter for the dual taper rods. So another £196 and I’ll probably get raped with duty thanks to brexit 🙄 Annoying snag but it’s better we found it than have an issue when it’s running [/QUOTE]
