Anybody in USA stock ADJUSTABLE push rods for Rover V8?

Sixpack577, Yes, I know, it IS a D2, with 4.6 engine. Yes, I know, they have hydraulic lifters, but you still need to adjust clearance with shims under the pedestals, or adjust them with adjustable push rods. I rebuilt several of these engines, so I have been through the rodeo several times.

Shimming the pedestals keeps the lifters closer to OEM working tolerance when you've skimmed the heads, block or both. No, they are not required, but they will prolong valve train life in this situation. The adjustable push rods are a waste of time and $200+ IMO.
