Doug you nailed the exact Problem.... my -3 is slightly larger then the

I took a sanding roll and lightly worked the opening taking out a bit less

Remind me in the Future NEVER to mess with -3 line... wow YUCK!!!
Sure wish I had me some Push Rods... I would make some Noise tomarrow... oh
well
Keith ( this from a Motor that is still sitting on the engine stand... but
it's ready to go in and that is the simple part!! )
