Hello guys. Nice to see you guys still as active as ever.
First off I would like to "warn" you guys that I am kind of new to valve train adjustment. From being an engineering student, I do know the terminology and can understand complicated instructions.
I bought the set of cut to fit chromoly pushrods from 440 source and I am making an attempt to take an accurate measurement of the size that I need.
I have a pushrod length checker that I built out of an old chromoly pushrod so I can increase or decrease the length to get an accurate measurement.
Before, I had solid lifters, and now I have hydraulic. I wasnt completely sure how to check for a precise measurement. What I would do before is I would take a dry eraser marker and mark the tip of the valve and install everything, turn the motor over a couple times, then dissasemble to check the wear on the marked valve. With hydraulic lifters, I assume that they will need to be pumped with oil prior to checking for overall pushrod length.
I have my cam card which has all the lashing specs and stuff on it.
I did a quick search on google and youtube but only found chevy type rocker assy's which may or may not be a bit different process..?
Any possible required info
------------------------
440
906 heads - 3 angle valve job with bigger valves
hydraulic comp cam camshaft .488 lift @ .050 - springs to match
hydraulic comp cam lifters
isky ductile adjustable rockers
Anything else?
Thanks in advance guys,
Dakota
