bbk unequal length headers. A few of the rockers have too much lash in them and others are fine I ordered 6.300 length pushrods and they were too long "they pushed the valve down a bit so i stuck with the stock pushrods put it back toghether runs ok but the rockers make alot of noise i dont know if i should order another size pushrod or my rocker seats are no good ??

lol i will record a new video tomorrow, anyone have the same experiance with these rockers?? something isnt right
how can some pushrods be exact lenghth and some short, this noise is really bumming me out and im sure its killing my performance, the car has lots of ***** though but something is not right.

no bro i havent, how do you check it? i bought an adjustable pushrod and measured it out and took it in to a performance shop, the guy measured wrong because its too long and im stuck with 6.300 length pushrods, i kept my stock hydrolic lifters i thought maybe running it would close the gap because plenty of people here used the stock rods and it worked, im sure the cam base circle is the same so what gives?

you and a handful of others on this site have, im wondering maybe my rockers are bad? they were used i bought from e bay, crane cams type "same as in 94-95 cobra". I asked a few guys here that work on engines and they all said stock length should work.

I used stock length hardened push rods with my p heads 1.7 rockers and a tfs1 cam, it seems to work well

All of mine sit well except for 4-5 of them wich i can move the pushrod with my hand i tried changind the places of other rockers and its the same thing, it sounds like a diesel, i advanced the timing today and its like a bat outa hell. My low intake gasket is leaking and i have to tear it open again, you guys think i should put in asome longer rods, i have 6.300 they are a tad too long maybe something in between 6.23 and 6.30 im not sure what to do. Heres some pics of the process and the rev vid you guys wanted. URL=http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/sgezalian/?action=view&current=Aug02_0001.flv][/URL]
