? Valvetrain Geometry ?
OK.... it's been confirmed that the noise after replacing the bad lifters is coming from the roller rockers. Apparently the rollers are almost running off of the edge of the valves. For the time being I'm installing a set of stock rockers and pushrods, which just may stay. But if I do decide I want to use the roller rockers, I have a question:
How DO I determine the needed lenght pushrod and what pattern am I looking for on the tip of the valve stem? I have an adjustable pushrod and calipers big enough to measure the adjusted lenght. Obviously I screwed up the first time (Hey, I make mistakes too....) and need to learn the right way, or at least be directed to a site that will explain it. My chemically-imbalanced old brain has a hard time grasping procedures more complicated than fork-to-mouth at times....
C`mon guys! I've done some searching and found explainations that weren't Mopar-specific. Help....
