Hopefully i'll be doing some fine tuning roller rocker adjustments this weekend (if i can get the engine started)...

Does anyone know if you need special rocker arm oil deflector clips for aluminum roller rockers? I've seen them for the stock stamped steel rockers. Will they fit aluminum roller rockers? If not, does anyone know where i can get the clips that will fit?

Thanks as always for any help!

 

Not sure if you really need them with rollers. Can't be sure as i adjusted mine static(once) and have never touched them again. If you do a good job first time around there should be no need for adjusting while running. The key is to be sure the lifter is on the heel and not part way up the ramp. Any method that allows you to adjust more than one valve at a time is having you doing it with one or more on the ramp. Granted its not far up the ramp but enough to make each preload slightly different.

 

The stock stamped rocker arms have a hole drilled through the push rod socket and oil squirts straight up. Most roller rockers direct the push rod oil, 90* toward the fulcrum, and it doesn't cause the problem you have with stockers.

RACE ON!!!

 

thanks guys - two very good points!

hopefully i'll be able to get it started this weekend.

thanks again!
