So your problem was valve guides? What are valve guides? And where do they go? How can you check them? Just curious...
Little bit of knocking from valve cover...(Noisy lifters fixed with new pushrods)

Very unlikely Valve guides will make lifter noise or a sound at all. Valve guides are what the valves go through in your head. You can measure the side to side movement by removeing the Valve retainer clips and spring. Mount a dial indicator and move valve side to side and get the reading compare to spec. Bad valve seals and oil consumption are whats to be blamed to wore out valve guides.Daily Driver 2008 Wrangler Sahara

Oso, in my experience you'll notice a lot of oil consumption and smoke before you hear the valve rattling in worn guides.

Hey Jason,
Just FYI Stock chevy 350 and stock AMC 360 pushrods are the same size. Look it up in the summit mag. Maybe your parts store sold you the next size bigger chevy rod? But I do know that they are the same size.
Redneck:
The 304 360 and 401 should all have the same size pushrods. And acording to summit racing the 390 is teh same size as well. But the amc 304-401 and chevy 262-400CI are the same size. Now you can get different lenghts but stock is stock and a 304 is the same stock lenght as a 360. Craig91 GW 360/727 Black cherry metallic, maroon interior, 100% restored with some mods.

Oracle - I did have a lot of oil consuption and smoke. You think all that haze you've been seeing came from the Arizona fires?
Upside - not many skeeters in my neighborhood.
And truthfully - I didn't want to do just the top end on an engine that had 177K miles on it. So I longblocked it.

If you've just tightened them down so the rockers are contacting the valvestem and the pushrod tip, and then went another 1/2-turn, then your rockers are simply loose. That only works on a Chevy-type adjustable rocker arm setup (which you don't have if your Jeep is '76 or newer).1987 J-20

Chevy and 290 to 401 AMC engines use the same push rods. The rockers are torqued to spec and that is it. No adjustments are made, or possible. The torque spec is to tighten the rocker arms down and that is it. You could tighten it down by hand to snug or to breaking point........No difference would be noticed.Daily Driver 2008 Wrangler Sahara
