Thanks for the tips guys...

Yes the timing marks were lined up as well as I could. I used a metal straight edge to be as close to perfect as I could.

I think Perry you may be right on the valve adjustment. I think I may have my my rocker arms tightened too tight. I adjusted them the way the paper work said.

Except,

I rolled the pushrod between my fingers until it ws just barely to tight to turn anymore, then after calling tech's at Edelbrock, he told me to turn the nut an additional 3/4 turn. Even though the installation instructions said on ly a 1/2 turn. So right now they are at 3/4 turn.

Also, after the pushrods are tightened and you turn the motor over a few rotations by hand, are the pushrods on the closed valves supposed to able to be turned with you fingers or not??

Mine were pretty loose after the first adjustment so I re-adjusted all the valves over again. So they were all pretty snug which was what the tech told me they were supposed to be.

I will be in the garage tomorrow reajusting the valves a little looser. Maybe with the engine being run the lifters will be pumped up more than when I originally adjusted them.

Thanks again guys for the help...
