This thread needs to stop being spammed Until the OP posts back the pictures I asked for. Any further attempts to diagnose this problem are worthless without seeing what other wear is being caused.

Everyone here on Mustangforums has this grand habit of tossing their two cents in and filing threads with nonsensical GARBAGE. Then when someone legitimately posts GOOD information, it gets drown out my all th BULL**** from the inexperienced...

post up the god damn pictures! (please)

I was not reffering directly to this thread, but info about the OP's ET and MPH are not relevant to this particular TECH issue.

and MJR, my sig falls within the forum rules. It is not an IMAGE and is therefor not governed by the 500x250 pixel imit :P

.....The et/mph was done to get an answer from him in another thread that went unanswerd, it was not meant nor intended to have any reference to his prob, as far as sig goes apparantly admin thinks otherwise becasue it was mentioned to have you taylor it, I will talk to them and get back with you.

well hold tight guys, pics will be up in about 5 mins as soon as i can get them off my camera.
i got pics of the way the rockers are sitting as of now, pics of the tops of the valves, and a better pic of the rocker roller.

here's the best i could do, even with a good camera its hard to get a focus'd shot of the rockers, i tried my best.

there's no wear on the tops of the valves, none that i can feel or see really. then just wear marks on the rollers. and as you can somewhat see all the rockers are pushed to one side.
