All Small Six Help! Did I just screw up my new build?

Do you have a dial indicator?

No i meant the rest of the valve lift, some 6mm of it? Lifters not full of oil?

You are right, lifters were not full with oil. The car has been sitting for a week. I can pump oil with power drill, but not sure if that’s enough.
Might just wait for the parts to come in and try everything assembled.

The valve lift should be .420"
Check the lift at another cylinder.

I put pushrods to 3 intake and 3 exhaust valves on different cylinders, all of them are close to be the same.
Yes, I do have dial indicator that I used to degree the cam.
@aussie7mains is right, I didn't think of collapsing lifters under load.

Because my pushrods are slightly bent, I assume I should order new ones after measuring the lengths

Put the dial indicator on the pushrods without the rocker arms in the way and check the actual lobe lift.
The lobe lift should be .280”
