Missed on this combo?
Well today I had time to check some things and here's what I come up with.
First thing I did just to make things were even was to adjust all valves to .010 lash. Then....
Measured lift at every retainer with a dial indicator. Stable and nice and straight. Every valve had .614 to .616 lift.
So next I pulled the passenger side rockers off and set up my indicator right on the pushrod. I just did 2 cylinders and it kinda tough to get perfect geometry, but you can see in the picture, I came up with .4090. Supposed to be .4175 according to my card so I think it's probably ok. I think.
What's not ok is my rockers.
If you take the .010 lash and ad it to the .616ish that I measured you get .626. EXACTLY what a 1.5 rocker should give you. Problem is I bought 1.6 rockers and they a marked as such. I think my rockers are off.
I spent a lot of time checking....making sure my indicator was positioned right. Came up .626 every time.
Should be .4175 X 1.6= .668. So If I am right, I wonder how Hughes will respond.
.040 lift short has to be worth something on this motor.
And now I don't think I like the cam. Geezus
