PRW/PQ rocker failure

B3RE Thanks for the input. It put me back on track on several points. I appreciate it.

I'm going to start on my W-2 junk soon. Do you think it's worth it to convert the MP rockers I have (which I think are blue crane rockers) to cup style adjusters? If it's worth it I'm down for it. What do you think?

Give me a call and we'll discuss the options. It may have a major benefit, especially if we can step up to a 7/16" adjuster.

You're quite welcome. It was a pleasure chatting with you.

I can’t recall that I’ve ever read in an engine rebuild article in any magazine about how to check and correct the lifter geometry. Am I the only one?
After the startup with the correction kit from B3E I kind of think the engine sounds a bit different when revving, could it be or is it just
psychological?

Most likely it sounds different. It's a big deal actually getting the geometry correct when you have saddles for the shafts. It's a bit easier using blocks like the W-2/5 stuff and that's how I used to do all the passenger car stuff until I found B3.

There is some stuff on the web about getting it right. Not specifically with Chrysler shaft rockers though. And most of that stuff isn't correct. I do think Circle Track magazine had some pretty in depth stuff on shaft systems back in the early 90's. But that's better than 25 years ago and is certainly past my recollection ability.

I've gotten that feedback from several customers. They report the sound as being sharper, or more crisp.
