I have used just the special 'bridge' tool to measuring for the shims, and the special dummy tappet to set the adjustment. As far as I recall, those are the main 'must have' tools.
By way of bridge tool, is that the one for compressing the valve springs? Or is it the the other one for removing the rockers?Well I guess I'm not clear on setting the adjustment. My adjustable rocker shaft does not seem to line up if installed with the pushrod and adjuster, and one can forget about adjusting it. I must be doing something wrong, I just haven't figured it out yet. The instructions seem vague to me here.
Here is a pix of my problem, the rocker shaft won't clear the final hole by a smidgen and there will be little or no adjustment. It's like the shaft is slightly cocked. I did notice my new valve springs were substantially longer and heavier than the old ones. Is that normal? By chance the wrong ones?
I will say I did not put any shims in the buckets and they looked empty, but I did not closely examine them.
Do you recall if your valve adjusters were adjusted far at the end of their threaded range?
I don't recall the exact setting, but no, they were not near the end of the travel.I'm stumped.Can you post a photo of a hydraulic plunger beside the calibrated plunger?And a side view of the adjustable rocker compared to the original fixed rocker.No idea what I'm looking for though. I'm grasping for an answer.
I think you got it. I don't recall the depth on mine. I can whip off a valve cover and get a photo if you think it is still an issue.As Steve mentioned, it IS a bit of a pain to compress the real plunger down to the calibrated level and get the pin in the rocker.
Coupla outstanding items, which I can't find in my book. How does on verify the functioning of the oil pressure relief valve? Other than cleaning it and putting it back in the same order. Also looking for torque specs for the timing cover, oil pan bolts, and the relief valve? Does the relief valve get locktite? Going out to get oil now. This should be running by end of day. Thanks.
Put plugs in & start it, it'll be fine
