Default RE: correct way to adjust roller rockers?


ORIGINAL: nmerrill

um so i think what i gathered from that is you want the lifters to bleed down? And you bleed the lifter down by turning the nut until the pushrod is tight? Tight means zero lash or not able to spin it in your hand at all? The way i adjusted it was on intake i waited for exhaust to barely open, adjusted the rocker to where i could feel a little resistance in the pushrod, did another 1/2 turn and locked it down. On the exhaust valves i did the same thing only when the intake was about to close/ Is this right or not, should i tighten them down another 1/2 turn here? and what does it mean when you say your lash is at .01 or .02?
dont worrie about the .010 lash that was on my solid roller cam... its better for them not to have bled down cause you can feel the pushrod when it gets tight, if you can push down on the rocker the lifter is bled down. if its bled down it will bottom out,giving you the backfire!!!or bad running. so if its bled down dont worrie just back off then tighten it till the pushrods just starts to move down in the lifter then 1/2 turn it .
