Good video man. You should do a vid on how to check pushrod length. Doing my first build and the vids are a lot easier to learn than just reading. Cool seeing you on the board the other day too.

@superslo5oh thanks. The hole priming the lifters thing is another part that is up to debate. Most modern engine builders say pumping the lifters with oil is old school stuff, and modern lifters have enough pressure with the internal spring to pump themselves up. so while it may not be necessary, its also not a big issue ether way.

Pedestal rockers need to be adjusted with the engine hot. Since the valvetrain parts are now expanded, the adjustment you set will be in the sweet spot for hydraulic damping. Lifters that are given excess preload can be damaged internally and will clatter when cold. If the rocker slides slightly across the pedestal, you've got it right. Honing the shim on a true fine whetstone will bring the lash within desired range. Vacuum guage will tell you when things are too tight.

I love your vids and it looks like your doing the same swap as me soon on your 5.0... M112!! But this video has explained to me very clearly why your rockers are "chattering" Preload them 1/2 turn instead of 1/8 and you'll be golden. You want the lifters preloaded in the middle of their travel in order to be properly preloaded after warmed up and oil pressure is present. This usually takes 10 mins on the stand during assembly and no need to re-adjust after several thousand miles.

I thought you would be a good person to ask. I just got a set of 1.7 rollors, and matching crane pushrods. They are not the stud mounted style, they bolt down like the stock ones. They are supposed to drop on a stock e7 head. My question is, is there any mod for this install? They are my first set. Any suggestions on the install of this style of rollor? Thanks

ford letter cams are not garbage, they make good power. i got a flat tappet 498/498 lift cam which is the same as a e303. i got tf 170 heads and a 670 carb and my car runs 12.20s @110 with 1.75-80 60fts and i got 3.73 gears also.the power my car makes will blow the tires off. and im talking 275/50/15 drag radials.when the letter cams came out back in the 90s they were awsome.people talk a bunch of smack about them but they get the job done with the mild builds that most people do.

Hoping your still around @XArmy187 im working on a 5L 304 in Australia and this vid was a big help. Just wanted to know how much of a difference does it make doing a 3/8 turn compared to a half or full turn.

It's basically the same I would say if it's an old stock heads or old heads do a full turn if it's a pair of new heads valves everything you get away with you know anything else But also if you hear any weird noises tightness you can also feel the engine feel a little funny from the valves are a little too tight I honestly obsessed about valves and I adjusted them every 500 Miles or so when it wasn't needed I'm still here there's going to be a new video soon but no more Fox body

Hey mate I'm doing a 304 also, just fitting crane rockers. Did you do it the same way as was shown in the video? How did it go for you? I've been told that a full turn is the way to go. Did you make the preload turn after feeling only a slight resistance on the push rod as was explained? I've seen people say you need to start the preload turn once you can no longer twist the push rod at all...

I would first look at the instructions, as all brands can be different. some are as simple as bolting down, and torquing to 20-25ft lb's of torque, and some require shim's and measuring them on the valve tip, and making sure they clear the valve spring. they are easier to set up, but you have to be sure the proper way to install, which I would go off of the manufactures instructions.

Snapped a stock AFR Rocker Arm Stud off on my head last week. Finally getting into fixing this weekend. Well, Monday now and I need to bust ass and get it running before tomorrow. Not expecting a quick reply, but how tight are your rockers when you do the last 1/4 or 1/2 turn? I feel like mine are WAY too tight. However, when I started the car there was a shit ton of chattering going on. Only the Passenger side head has the new ARP studs in so far. Tips?

if there too tight, the car could run like complete shit, if there too loose, they will chatter. if you do it like I did in the video, even with more preload, even a full turn, you will be fine. I use to do mine two or three times too, second guessing myself, haha, so I know how it is.
