Hello my friend

Hi Pete, on a 440 build video from 5 years ago when you were setting the lifter pre-load on the first rocker on base circle you set it to one full-turn. how come in this video it's only 1/8th turn? Also, I have been having troubles with pushrods falling out of the adjustable rockers. It's a 383 and it only happens on the driver side cylinders and, both intake and exhaust. Any tips?

This engine if flat tappet, the others were rollers. If the pushrods are just falling out, something is really out of adjustment

I am installing a howards roller cam with 510 lift, I was told prior to purchasing, I could use the factory rockers on my stock 440 heads. Is this true??

[@PetesGarage]

I believe so

[@adambennett2176]

Yes sir!

Thanks my friend

You are incorrect. The oil holes on the bottom of the shafts have to be oriented so they are the correct 15 degree angle towards the inboard. Towards the crank centerline. Its important. Just pointing down is incorrect.

[@PetesGarage]

Unless the oil holds are aligned with the mounting holes

what rocker shafts are you using? @@PetesGarage
