Thread: setting solid cam valves ??

Tweet

you guys are making this way to hard .you adjust one valve when other one is up on full lift this put the the other lifter on the base circle of the cam this one you set the lash on . and not hop a round do one side at a time go over them two times watch when you lock them down this pulls up and can throw it off .002 or so.and so will stud gridles pulll the studs side to side and if you use pollylock the studs tops should be flat this helps them lock better you can cut them flat with a valve grinder on the stem side to face them i do it all the time. on roller rockers they make more noise. i like noise. my roller cams run .024+ lash and have run roller rocker and soild roller cams.I started doing this in the mild 80s .but i did not drive this stuff all the time . a stock gm with rocker ball stamp steel shoe type rockers will last longer and will be much more quiet. i would say the best roller rocker would go south at 30000 maybe longer with oiler in the valve covers this is the way i have done it for many years and works the best for me and will work on any engine
