same here...I'll have to hold in my patience and wait until 8pm friday nite...or earlier if he gets it done any earlier...but prolly friday.

funny thing is that it has a little tick as the motor is shut off...he says its nothing bad, its just the springs pushing the lifters back down...

Are you using soild or hydraulic lifters? If you are hearing a lifter noise then I dont think he primed the oil pump completely before startup and the oil is still working its way through the galleys or his valve adjustment is slightly off. After a initial startup and the engine is run for a few miles, a re-adjustment of the valves are usually required
That may be what you are hearing.
Glad to hear its running!

oh ok...thanx

Didn't seem like he could adjust the valves properly. Looks like the standard stamped steel rockers and pedestals seem to be on the car.

Im sure the idea was to work on Colins car in the evenings after the regular customers... give the man a break!
You have to bang out the gravy jobs to pay the bills before you can work on the custom job you are wishing you charged your nephew more for... (believe me, he does)

I know how it goes Pete, I'm just saying he may end up damaging his reputation if he ain't careful - you work in a shop, you know how picky customers can get.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

yea, TL, those are the stock rockers on there for now...I didnt have the mounting hardware for the roller rockers...
does anyone know/have links to what I would need?

[Lincolnmania]

what rockers did you buy? were they stud mount or pedestal mount rockers?

[turbo2256b]

[Lincolnmania]

[Mr. Land Yacht]
