The good news is that both heads are back on after replacing the lifters. I'm just, hopefully, verifying that the provided pushrods are the right length and then I can put everything back together...

The bolt I was looking to turn was the harmonic damper bolt which is now an aftermarket ARP bolt, 12 point, 1 and 1/16th inch socket. Is that the right bolt I should be turning?

I sent the failed lifter back. All the lifters have to come out now anyhow so, the Top Line lifters will be gone. Would love to get the Johnsons but, looks like I'll have to settle on the LS7s....
