CHE bushings are slip fit and do not require pressing in, they rotate on both the shaft and rocker. I sprayed my bushings, springs, retainers and push rod ends with a light coat of moly spray and baked in oven for 2 hours at 250*. Use a good assembly lube such as Royal Purple or Red Line, also rotate engine to torque down rocker on the base of the cam lobe. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Good Luck!
Nice work

How do you adjust clearance on the lifters?

Like on the old small block?
