I'm trying to button up edelbrock head swap but don't trust torque spec in manual of 35 fts,I went up to 25fts,but am afraid of stripping out intake holes in heads.I already broke a rocker shaft bolt due to wrong specs.on my old heads.

At first I thought ticking noise was coming from bad lifter but I found the noise was coming from the timing chain cover by using a hose.It seems to be louder on the driver side below water pump but above crank.What do you think? Too long of bolt some where?fuel pump arm hitting timing chain?

I've been fighting a lifter noise since motor was rebuilt,has had 2 different cam and lift sets in it.After sitting awhile would tap loud for only 2 or 3 secs then quiet down but still tap quietly.Lifter bores where checked when block was done.I recently installed some 273 rockers and it quieted...

Does anyone know the dimensions of rocker shaft studs? I'm going to have a local shop make me a set of grade 8 ones.I'm using 273 adjustables with stock hold downs and my push rods are about .020 too long.I figured studs would make the shims easier to install.I know I should just get shorter...

After searching for a PCV grommet w/a1.5 ID,finally figured a way to do it.I used a breather grommet then got a Ford pcv w/a 3/4"od,put it in a short piece of 3/4"heater hose which sized up the OD to about an inch,then stuck that into the breather grommet.It fits real tight and will get me by...

I'm going to install my adjustable rockers this weekend and want to make sure I'm putting the shafts on right.No notches on the end of shafts like on my nonadjustable ones.The shafts I got with rockers are plugged at the ends,is this better?Forcing more oil thru small oiling holes.I guess what I...

I'm getting a tick from the pass side rockers for about 5 secs after I start the car after I let it sit for more than 2 hrs.If I crank it for 5 secs or so before I tap the gas to start it,it doesn't do it.I noticed that when I swapped out the cam that the cam bearing oiling holes were not lined...

Found out why bypass fitting wouldn't stop leaking.Crack in intake from fitting to thermosat housing.Decided to get new intake,any real advantage between performer rpm to rpm air gap?Figure either will work better with my cam.Is it worth getting my LD 340 welded then sell it,or is it worth...
