Are those the Stock LT4 rockers that are non-adjustable. If they are they have no set screw in them. They just get torqued.
What torque are they supposed to be set down to?

Hey Glock,
This is what I did to my heads with the Standard Abrasives Head Porting/Polishing Kit when I had about 50 hours free while I waited for my block to get No.2 sleeved and all cylinders alignment bored .030 over on my 383 stroker rebuild :rolleyes:

Cool pics!! Once I buy new tires, and have $ saved up for the tranny, and a couple other things, I will buy a set of LT1 heads from e-bay for like $300 and do a nice port job to them.

I don't know if there is a set torque, although there very well may be. For hydraulic lifters though, I believe the accepted method is to tighten until you can no longer spin the push-rod freely(with the oil system primed and the lifters filled), then 1/2 a turn. Its what I did and approaching 1300 miles now and still no noise. Good luck!

Heh...what if your builder accidentally got EM gaskets for an L88, for an LT-1 C3? :D
Actually I saw the boxes for the gaskets.. they were for an LT1, definitely (not the older one)
