Hey Tech, I've watched that video a few times. Don't know if I did something wrong last Saturday but: I know to take my gross valve lift, divide it in half, take the 3/8 stud measurement of .042 and divide that by half the valve lift. That comes to around about 5.5 turns on the 355's rocker after I've drawn a centerline thru the rocker and lined it up with a key stock, ruler, etc. Here was the problem I found. I could put the rocker on and barely turn the nut to keep the rocker on there (forget about the center line of rocker for a minute). After that, there's not enough thread there to even allow for 5 turns. That's why i was curious about some other methods out there or tools. Thanks, Bobby1972 Z28 Camaro, Full Drag Car, 383 CID

So installing the trex bed wood got me thinking about all the heat from the exhaust and the possible melting of the wood. Also noticed the floor on the passenger side getting hot on a warm day. So...
