EEEEEEwwww, clean that shit up David.

I remember a guy that referred to a solid roller motor sounding like a "T-Rex Chomping on rocks". Sweet sound and got to love the power.

That's a good question, but not one I have an answer for. I just set it the way the cam card said to set them. It's 5 years old, but I seem to remember Hans saying it's supposed to be a tight lash setup.

When I get some time on it, I'll most likely try it a few different ways to see what it likes.

Mines .014,I wouldn't worry too much about it.

What a POS. Not only does the engine sound like it ready to blow, the back tires are bald as well.

LOL, he's used to old school where they say you have to adjust solid rollers every other pass or some shit.

lol, shit cracks me up... I've put over 100k on a solid flat tappet engine and the rockers were still in spec the whole time...

[OreoStang]

U going to have it running before the cruise?

Yeah, My old S10 - I don't recall ever resetting them in over a year of street driving and drag racing.

Now, THIS motor, it's entirely possible to have to check and possibly reset them once a month or so. Maybe not now while it's N/A - but when it gets the turbo and starts making some power...


Brady, it's good to go now. I have to redo a couple small things - like the oil restrictors and maybe change intake manifolds, but otherwise it's good to go.

Auminum head/iron block combos start tight and loosen up with heat. The rocker stands move away from the block surface at a faster rate than the iron block expands

Would you be referring to Scott (kobuzz)? He's used that term several times before.

I also like to hear peoples responses to listening to a Pete Jackson gear drive, calling it a "blower car". lol

Everybody asked why the tight lash. So what does that make the people asking the question?
