273 rocker arm adjustment
Ok so zero lash plus a full turn on the adjuster. I did find some of my adjuster came out really easy, so they might have been moving around which would cause the push rods to bend?
I have contacted Jon Dunken, he is an awesome local mopar guy that i ran into, he is going to find out if he has or knows anyone that has some 273 rocker shafts, arms and push rods. Which might save me from having to modify my shafts with additional holes, banana grooves, and polishing out all the galling marks. My rockers have alot of galling in them, here is a before and after picture of the rocker arm, i ran a berry hone through them to see if they would clean up, think i could run them since they are just low spots which would add more oil surface? What do you think?
Any other comments guys? I am pretty green when it comes to this stuff and i really appreciate all of your experience.
What push rods do you think i should go with? I am thinking i should just buy the same push rods that i have, this way i can see if i have any additional problems...? i need to decided about the rev limit... i have the msd box that i can put the rev limiter in, which would help since i have the heavy foot. :steering:
Here is some pictures of the before and after of the clearanceing of the underside of the rocker arm with sand paper roll.
Not sure if i cant quote from other threads? worth a shot
