383 Rocker Arms

The pushrods length has to be correct to get the correct geometry on the rocker as it travels up and down on the valve tip.
A set of 3 pictures of the rocker tip on top of the spring while the spring is holding the valve closed, mid lift and full open is what you will need. Also, before you start taking the pictures, oh need to remove the rockers, clean the valve tip, take a black sharpie marker and color the entire valve tip. Then reinstall the rockers.

Starting from the valve fully closed, rotate the engine so the valve opens and closes. Take your pictures and then remove the rockers to photograph the valve tip that will show the scrub area made by the rocker tip.

WOW! That is a lot right?!?!

But this is getting it done right.

Not at all if that’s what it takes to get the correct valve lash!!!

Like I said I’ve done the Chevy’s with no problem because they can be adjusted while running...but this time I don’t want to do something stupid like bend a PR or worse a Valve!!!

What about the spring the keeps the rockers separated...they feel really weak when the valve is closed the rocker moves with little effort?

Thanks again for all the advice!!!
