    What size header bolts for a 72 340?

    Thank you, yes it is pretty tight on a couple of them. Had a hard time getting to the Allen heads. It was a real pain. Took me over two hours to get them off. : ( Any tips or special tools that make it easier?

    Ok guys, got off work this morning and dove right into a list of things I was going to check. I popped the valve covers off and right out of the gate I noticed that the rocker shafts were not on properly. The oil holes were facing up and the grooved ends were backwards. The guy that installed...

    It think the lifters are hydraulic. The timing has a lot to do with the aftermarket cam shaft I am guessing. I will have to check the rocker shafts, valve lash and the compression test and get back with you guys. I am stumped.

    yes it is an aftermarket guage. What do i need to do to correct the oil issue? I seem to have decent pressure. Maybe 15-20lbs idle and around 50 when I get her going.

    Thanks Fishy68, after I backed the timing down I couldn't tell a difference in the noise but I did loose the idle quality. I will probably have to go back up on the initial and try to figure out how to limit the dizzy or get a new one that I can adjust. It does have a pretty good ticking noise...

    I would describe it as a lifter tick or rocker arm tick. I will try and upload a video. It may just be the rockers out of adjustment.

    340 valvetrain help

    I talked to the guy that I bought it from and he said they put new hydraulic lifters in it. It has adjustable shaft rockers in it. So would these be set at zero lash and then 1/4 to a 1/2 turn for preload? I had the valve covers off the other day and got the feelers out and without turning the...

    Don't have many details about the engine. It has been through a few hands and the info I got was very limited. Its a 340 with the original heads. Not sure if the seats have been changed out. It has a performance cam but im not sure on any specifics. Don't know what kind of lifters. The...

    340 valvetrain help

    Hi guys, I am new here. Just picked up a 340 Duster and have been going through it. When I drive it I get quite a bit of knocking noise around 1500 to 2500rpm. I took the valve covers off and it has nice shaft roller rockers. I am not sure what cam is in this engine, what type of lifters or...
