Valves and heads
Ok I bought some assembled heads a while back and I took my car to a shop yesterday to have them set my roller rockers. The guy basically told me he couldn't do anything without knowing the pushrod and valve length. I bought the heads assembled so I don't really know part numbers or anything.
Here is the original ad: "e7s ported, polished, dual springs, titanium ferrea valves 2.02 intake 1.60 exhaust 5 angle valve job locking viton valve seals. Flows 215 cfm at .500 lift
Asking $300 "
Is anyone familiar with ferrea valves? If so is there any guess as to what length they are supposed to be?

This is the only thing I could find on your valves. I've never heard of them. Looks like 5.03". I could be completely mistaken so don't quote me on it

That looks like it could be right. I found out my push rods are 6.25" so now I guess I just need to figure out the geometry and how to set the roller rockers properly. Mine are crane cams 1.7's but they are non-adjustable.

As long as the pushrods are the correct length and your lifter preload is correct, then the witness mark on top of the valve stem will be good to go.

find a different shop or someone who knows sbf's, obviously that guy doesn't, use a solid lifter for mock up and run the pattern/ witness mark, no need to do/ know anything else, based on witness mark you'll know whether or not push rod length is to short or to long

I think I would feel safer having someone do it that has experience. I already tried to set them once (although the instructions I got were for a set with poly locks). It ran, but it wasn't right.
Anyone in the south florida area?

Is there anyone in the Port Saint Lucie/Fort Pierce Florida area that can recommend a reputable ford mechanic that knows what they're doing? Or anyone on here that would be interested in making a few $ to set my roller rockers?
