You MIGHT have a bent pushrod! I didn't say it was a definite yes.

Ok possible slightly bent pushrod. I've decided they're getting changed anyway. 1 day in the garage and it'll get fixed.

Pushrod swap is probs the easiest thing to upgrade on a 7.3

Unlimited Diesel has worked real hard to make sure my power goals are met. Great communicator. Johnny on the spot with coordination/follow up. Knows the platform and industry in and out. Nate gets my vote for you.

Swamps is good, just busy. You gotta email Dave to get a response.

97stoker350 · Feb 19, 2014

I would go with swamps personally. If I hate money I'd be sending a motor to them to have built. I've got sstuff and dealt with them dice my build started. Dave has been very helpful

how hard is it to find a machine shop to fire ring it?
I have started hunting locally for a machinist and the first place wouldnt even replace the injector cups

97stoker350 · Feb 19, 2014

I don't think it's who does it it is a question of what quality work will you get because they have to be PERFECT

Yup.... I own a Big Cam 350. The 400s I heard did not lope But they were stock. Now when they make them lope they sound stupid. i have heard them to. But that is just my opinion.

Find a competent CNC shop and buy the tools to do cups yourself.
2nd option is to buy a BHJ cutter and cut the grooves yourself.

$1500ish for the tool if this is correct p# ORG-3-SK-DR120 plus a grand+ for the register plate. pricey for one or two motors

Its a wash. A good shop will charge you as much for the work.
