Thank you for this. I've been watching any video I can get my hands on to figure out how to adjust the rocker arms on my 350 SBC. None of the other videos explain it like this one, and with your help, I was able to get my valves all set today. Such an effective presentation- I really appreciate your video!

Bring the crank to tdc then tighten the rockers all to 0 lash then spin the crank 45° bring them all to 0, spin 45° bring them to 0, spin 45 bring to 0 for the 4th time then give them all 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn and your done. This is the easiest and fastest way to do it.

I don't thing I've ever seen a semi go 100 mph. I call bullshit on that one mitch.lol long story short Long tube headers can significantly decrease backpressure because they separate exhaust gases into individual pipes. also the other thing you could of did mitch was zip tie all those hoses that was in your way, would would be amazed how wide open it make it to work.

The way you adjust valves is good, but with a hydraulic cam, I prefer to do it my way...something I learned years ago to do with a firing order of 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2. For those of you out there that are not sure. If you have the intake off so that you can see the cam and the lifters...this would be best for you as you can see that the lifter is at its lowest point on the back of the cam called the heel. Turn the engine over so that it is ready to fire on #1 cylinder. Both valves on #1 cylinder should be closed (lowest point) when the timing mark is on TDC. Turn the rocker nut to remove any play with the push rod to get zero lash. Take note of the position of your ratchet and tighten the nut 1 full (360*) turn and stop on all 16 nuts. With the engine set to fire on #1 cylinder and the timing mark set to TDC...you can adjust the intake valves on 1, 2, 5 & 7 cylinders as well as 1, 3, 4 & 8 exhaust valves. Turn the engine over one full (360*) turn and stop on TDC again which will put #6 ready to fire. Repeat the process of taking out the push rod play to zero lash. You can now adjust the intake valves on 3, 4, 6 & 8 as well as the exhaust valves on 2, 5, 6 & 7 cylinders. If you have the intake off when doing the adjustments, you can verify that the lifters are all the way down in their bores as well as see the lifters on the back (heel) of the cam. Even if you degree your cam, this process will still work. I have been doing this for years and never had an issue. I build engines...mainly 540 inch BBC engines using custom grind hydraulic roller cams making 750 horse power and more using this way of adjusting the valves...mainly for high performance boats... kzbin.info ...if you want to see some of my engines. For you DIY guys and guy-ets...either way will work for you on adjusting the valves. Just take your time and you should do just fine.

Hello, you can still use the 3/4 turn and do the adjustment with lifters that already have oil pressure in them. The valve springs have enough pressure to “bleed” the lifter back under full valve lift during the adjustment process since there is no oil pressure until the engine is started up.

Hello first off, thanks for the view! Having the manifold on is no problem, you can just watch for the pushrods to fall and rise instead of watching the lifters and if you feel the up and down slack in the pushrod while tightening the adjuster nut you will know when to make the 3/4 turn. You can have a friend tap the starter while you watch them but it takes a very slight tap of the starter to get to the next adjustment. you can still use the 3/4 turn and do the adjustment with lifters that already have oil pressure in them.

Hi bud I wanted to ask if this method would work on the ford 351?
@mitchnelsonperformance Ай бұрын
hey Darth, yes, if it has the adjustable locking nuts on studs. Otherwise if it has the (5/16th) bolt down pivots then they are torqued to a spec, but they sell different pushrod lengths to achieve the proper lifter preload and you can use the video to determine the preload. an empty lifter (no oil) should have between .080 minimum and .180 maximum lash between the rocker arm and the tip of the valve when on the base circle (no lift) of the cam to have proper preload.

Hey, 🤔 not sure why they won’t stay locked but you could always get a set of poly locks. They have a center set screw to lock them and I usually snug them with the wrench (9 1/6-5/8) after tightening the set screw. just don’t over-tighten the nut after or you can crack them.

You can have a friend tap the starter while you watch them but it takes a very slight tap of the starter to get to the next adjustment. Good luck on the project! Hey, you can just back them off and then readjust them as you go through the process (I.e. you don’t need to back them all off first). A slight up and down feel of the free play will be felt in the pushrod or you can gently lift up and down on the rocker to valve tip until -0- lash is met. You may need to use a 5/8 spark plug or other thin wall socket because I’ve seen thicker wall sockets push against the rocker giving a false feel, or just pull the socket out and check free play then reinsert it as you adjust. Pulling plugs are optional. Once you get it in position (rotation) to begin, the rotations are only 90 deg so it’s fairly easy to rotate between adjustments. If you have a friend that can just feather bump the key, the starter will work great to run through it. Or you could bump it 60 deg and wrench it the other 30

Hey Billy, is it at tdc on the correct stroke when the rotor is aiming at #1 cylinder? when it’s at tdc it can be on the exhaust or compression stroke. if you can see the valves they should both be closed on cyl 1 when the rotor is aiming at #1 plug wire.

Hello, I replaced the torque unit on the rear axle . it’s the part that the driveshaft bolts to and has two small wiring harness plugs on it and an electric actuator motor on the driver side of the unit. it’s usually that part or the front transfer case unit. The splines will strip off where the rear driveshaft comes out of it. it’s easy to diagnose by jacking up all four wheels (or put it on a lift) and put it in drive and push the traction lock button. if the rear driveshaft is turning but the rear wheels are not then it needs the rear torque unit. if the driveshaft doesn’t turn then the front unit splines are worn. Good luck on the project, Nelson.

Hi Mitch. I had to replace spring retainer and a pivot retainer on a 1998 dodge ram 1500 5.2L so I had some lifters that had bled down and some that didn't. Both intake and exhaust lifters on the #7 cylinder were still rock hard after sitting several days so I used a washer etaped to the top of the push rods to "convice them" to bleed down, but they're still "firm". I wanted all of them to be approximately the same before making the adjustments. What should I do?

Hello, sorry for the late reply, usually if the engine sits for a little time with that lifter/rocker at full valve lift, the valve spring will have enough pressure to bleed the oil back in that lifter. It’s a slow bleed down time so it may take some time. Then rotate to the next lifter/rocker that needs bled. You would need to do this by hand because using the starter can at times run the oil pump fast enough to produce oil pressure back in the lifters. Hope that helps and thanks for the kind words and viewing, Nelson.
