Welcome to my world.. i deal with the public at large and deal with it 11 hours a day :)

the best is when they call you with a question... you give them an answer then they argue with you... why the **** did you call me then? I'll take my 40 years of experience and go **** off

finding info on this is ****.. using adjustable rockers with hyd lifters.. i see 1/2 turn to 2 turns.. 1/2 would be .20 preload 2 turns is .080, right now i'm at 1 turn or .040.. might try 1 1/2 this time.
I have always been instructed that with hydraulic lifters, you should close all of the play, and then add 1/4 or 1/2 turn more. This is especially true with high ramp camshafts and higher RPM's expected.... :thumbsup:
 
I miss those days with the small block Chevys where you idle the thing with the valve covers off and loosen the rocker nut till it clatters and give it a turn and you're done. Mopars are harder to do with the adjuster out on the end of the rocker. And what a mess it could make.
I have a set of Big Block valve covers , tops cut out, just for that purpose....:thumbsup:

I was working auto hobby shop. Guy needed valves adjusted in a Chevy luv truck. Well I did the old, run it and adjust till quiet. Adjusters were on rockers. Tough to say the least. Broke one Adjuster. Oops good enough zeal er up...
 
Made it back home after car shopping for my grand Daughter. The car we went to look at only had 19,000 miles on it and looked in decent shape. Salesman said it was a 3 cylinder Chevy. OK! took it for a test drive and was making a banging noise on the front floorboards that even my feet could feel. We stopped opened the hood
and the engine was rocking like an out of balanced 3-legged dog. NOPE, took it back and walked away.

Did it have 6 and run on 3 or was it actually a banger?

Sounds like a Sonic or Aveo

Glad you were there to kill the swindle Fred
 
I needed some risers for the front feet of the dryer. Crete won't be bothered by a little trickle of water going by. I poured 2 different ones. I think the rectangle ones will work better. Fingers crossed. Hey, it was the wife's idea. I'll roll with that. Peel off the plastic and they will be flared at the bottom.
