The other thing , when the engine is running, just tighten the rocker until it stops clattering and then back it off slightly...when you have done this more than a few times it becomes easy... Hence my solid litter motor runs pretty quitely. I just put stud girdles and new rockers but did not take a video....I will here soon just to show you......I must ask of you experts.....how many of you have actually built a motor from scratch....and I mean from scratch...not a short block...????

Ehh, I've built one or two....
The BEST way, is to use the EVO/IVC method. If you go by TDC, or the balancer degrees, you can end up with a valve that's starting to open if the cam is big enough.
So you adjust a solid cam by tightening the rocker until all the lash is out then you introduce a little bit of lash? Really? You're not one of those guys who builds an engine "tight" and then drags the car down the road with a tractor to try and start it, are you? |
