Rocker Assembly
Call me stupid, but of all of the engine work that i've done in my young life, i've never changed out a rocker assembly and shafts on a small block mopar before.
Im changing them out on my 73 318(90,000 miles) in my Duster this weekend, due to one or two noisy worn out ones on the right bank, which clicked a littoe more than it already did when hot after i changed out the cam to a hotter one.
I just received my new Mopar Performance stamped steel rockers and Mancini Racing's rocker shafts that they sell. I got the package of rockers and the shafts for $139. I also purchased pushrods ofcourse as well. These are supposidly direct bolt ons to the stock ones and should take a few hours tops from what they tell me.
Is there any special procedure that any of you recommend for me? Any input about my setup and what i'm going to use? When restarting after installation, should i disconnect the coil and crank the motor to get oil flowing, or just start the motor normally?
Just a side note, if there is any particular torque specs that i need, that would be awesome as well.
Thanks.
