390 valve train timing/torque specs

i recently was wondering why my truck keeps backfiring
through the carb

even after the timing chain change it still backfired through the carb

here is what i found once i reset the engine to TDC i noticed that the intake valve was not seated so that explains the back fire

all pushrods are new and straight

my ? is this how much or what reference do i use once i tighten down this valve train assy so i dont have open valves where they shouldnt be

thanks

two choices are new shorter pushrods or adjustable rockers. have you had the heads milled at all? mayby the pushrods are too long.

Do you have the sheet metal oil deflectors under the rocker shaft pedestals?
