  • This company makes great engines! Have one of their 383 strokers in my 69 Chevy C10 with a Edelbrock pro flo 4 EFI system and it runs great every time I drive it!
  • @sarsavage
    You did a fantastic job explaining how to set valves
  • @davejalenderki
    Thanks for the video. Very informative and straight to the point.
  • @skulfkr
    We started a trend with our ponitiac blue 406 I guess..lol Thanks for the vid.
  • good vid...what do the OEM chev roller lifters use for plunger travel? i assume you are using those type in this demo??
  • @sepasgozar
    . Thanks for sharing this video… But I am wondering if it would be same way for classic Marine GM 350 opposite direction (RH rotation) or different method??
  • @ubethejudge69
    curious 7/16 bbc rocker studs , used in pontiacs when you want to run adjustable valve train. do you typically do more than 1/2 turn adjustments with hydr. lifters , say comp cam and crane for example? in your experience.
  • @Quakeroats608
    Thanks for this video.Explained a lot and made it simple.
  • @bracken.g8488
    okay so that is with studded rockers, what about typical rocker stands with bolts, you turn it 1/2 turn, now it isnt tight so how do you tighten a ls rocker bolt without adding preload?
  • @user-rf8ho1wo7f
    Great info! Can I use this same method if the engine is in the and has been running? Most videos show new builds.
  • @Tablesaw818
    After preload is set should there be any side to side movement?
  • @mantisushi
    I get less than an 8th of a turn and the valve opens, what do i do
  • @ireb.7988
    hey bro! does this technique works even if my lifters are full with oil? (I HAD TO INSTALL 2 NEW PUSHRODS)
  • @ironhorse127
    You call it ice. I go EOIC. Exhaust opening, Intake closing. Work out the same in the end
  • @HypocriticYT
    I have an LS1 engine with that tick. Adjusting the rocker should remove that tick?
  • @19antman55
    So by locking down the rocker you actually added almost an other 1/4 turn= 1 1/4 turns from zero lash after lockdown???????
  • That seems like an awful lot of preload, I've only ever heard of half or three quarters of a turn?
