    Speedmaster Stainless Rocker Arm Issues

    You didn't get dissed, Mike. You don't know if clearance will be an issue until you know the shaft is at the right place. Then you can rightfully determine whether the beehive springs need to be used. I call that being informed. There was no disrespect given, at least not from me. Yes it can...

    Speedmaster Stainless Rocker Arm Issues

    That is incorrect, Rob. The Harland Sharp rockers need more correction than most, even on the TF heads. Throw a set of T&D 8130 rockers on a TF head, and run .700" net lift, and you won't need any correction. Outside of that scenario, it will need adjustment, just not as extreme as other...

    Roller tip rockers?

    If budget is a concern, just use the stock rockers and measure for the correct length pushrods. The rollers are a great upgrade, but they have to be set up right, which means relocating the shafts. That adds to the cost and makes the rollers less budget friendly, especially when you could make...

    need an engine builder for my 273

    Just north of Hershey. I can't do an estimate/quote without knowing what I have to work with. That comes with tear down and inspection.

    need an engine builder for my 273

    Sorry Mike. I think you misunderstood. I have cores in the event that some of his parts are beyond repair. He asked about an engine builder and I, as a builder, was just pointing out that I have those parts if needed during the build. I'm not trying to sell him parts.

    need an engine builder for my 273

    I generally encourage leaving the engine assembled for delivery. During teardown I can determine the health of the engine and recognize any issues as currently assembled. The engine will tell a story of its life during disassembly if one knows what to look for. It also reduces the risk of lost...

    Stainless, Bushed PRW Rocker Arms

    Mike, I believe you must have misunderstood me, and I don't want others to get the wrong idea. The Trick Flow heads have the rocker stands repositioned for to have geometry more suited for a roller rocker. It can't be right for every application, but it is much closer than other heads on the...

    Rocker Arm help

    I've just been extremely busy with parts shortage backlogs. Finally clearing out some of the stuff from late last year, so once everything settles down a bit, I'll try to get a thread started. That's why I've been so scarce around these parts lately.

    Roller Rockers 1.5 vs 1.6

    The radius for the shaft is not machined properly. Check out some recent Speedmaster threads to see discussions about this issue.

    Roller Rockers 1.5 vs 1.6

    Only if the stands are corrected. Then I have no problem doing them.

    TrickFlow 190 Issue

    Just an afterthought. Lay the gasket on the heads too, using dowels for alignment, and see how it looks. Between the block and the heads, the gasket should make it obvious which one is "off".

    TrickFlow 190 Issue

    Hey, the Trick Flow people are human too, and can make mistakes, so the heads could have a problem I haven't seen. I just wanted to save you some grief exchanging out heads if that wasn't the problem. Let us know what you find.
