    We presently use Manley lash caps, .130 deep w/ an .080 thick 'cap', for an overall length of .210", for our 11/32" Manley valves.
    Trying a new head combo, and due to using internal Manton Rockers, we are close to being out of the range of the oil galleries lining up on the intake side, and instead of getting .040 longer push rods, a .040 thicker lash cap would work.
    Are these available anywhere?

    If your that close you need more than .040 long pushrod. I have brand new trend pushrods I'd sell cheap if it helps you out.

    Remember that a change in lash cap and pushrod are not the same because of rocker ratio.
