I am looking at these, and wondering if you just use the springs between the rockers, or would you put a spacer to put between the rocker and spring? I see mopar performance offers some that are , .015 thick Thanks, Shane!

Can someone walk me through the proper way to set preload ... Hydraulic Lifters, cast iron adjustable rockers... thanks! Shane

so am I! lol thanks! Can I set both intake and exhaust rocker at the same time, when the cylinder is on top dead center? Or do I have to spin it, and do each on its own?

I have a couple extra rockers, and as mentioned, I have the set of pushrods that came with the rockers. They look just short enough that a couple threads would need to come out of the rocker . The round end that goes the lifter seems to be just a little wider then the too long comp cams rods...

Oh I'm done with these monkies. I'm going to reslove this situation, get whatever I can for myslef from them and move on. Like I said, I have a set of shorter rods on hand, and/ or will buy new ones. I will pull the intake and double check the cam and lifters. If all is good , would I...

This place was referred to me. I'm really starting to think I should have looked around more.

Their response was that those were the only ones they could get for adjustable rockers. I've lost what ever faith I had in them today after talking to them. I have a set push rods that are shorter. Not a huge amount, butt the amount they are shorter, would give more clearance at the rocker...

Your right. And I have to wait for a push rod anyways, I should pull the intake and have a look.

Moper,you probaly right... But I just wasted my time measuring the broke one and another one, may not been the exact right way to measure it. They both moved the same though..

I'm thinking now that since I have it all apart , aslong as my cam is good, I might as well upgrade to some nice crane rollers as someone mentioned. It i did, I would I figure out what ratio I could use?

I agree with you. I remember that now from when I was working on my first engine... Stupid mistake on their part, and now they are making excuses

I have a manual , that agrees with all of you guys, that those shafts have to have the knotch facing down. Also, those are comp cams push rods, I have an old set of push rods that came with the adjustable rockers and shafts. They are silver in colour , not black, and are shorter. by eye about...

So they pulled the rockers today. the shaft was upside down on the drivers side, but everything seems ok. the passenger side has the broken pushrod, and one more ball on the adjuster that looks to be burned and dry. They wanted to pull the intake to check the cam, but are going to give...

It has to be Tuesday, because it's a holiday up here in Canada on Monday. I am not happy about this, but I did bring those rockers to the builder.. He bought the cam I wanted and then ordered pushrods that were supposed to be right, and then installed the shaft wrong... Since I'm goin to be...

I looked, the other side has the grove on the shaft back at the firewall, BUTT, it too is facing up. Does having that shaft upside down cause te lack of oil that caused it to break? Rusty, do I need just crane rockers? And they go on those shafts?
