rockers

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 11:48 AM

Just got done with the springs, which wasn't to hard... but sucked none the less. Either way, back to putting the rest back together. I want to intall the rockers 100 percent right this time around.

What is the exact process, and tq specs in doing so?

e7 rockers nothing special, gt40p heads, stock rockers blah blah blah.

MustangMatt96GT · July 7th, 2009, 12:09 PM

You got to adjust the rockers on the correct lobe of the cam... Meaning you will have to do the exhiast valves right when the exhaust lifter/pushrod starts to move up. And you do the intake when the intake valve is starting to close... I don't have exact torque specs though.

Torque and go.....

superbean · July 7th, 2009, 12:39 PM

for some reason 22 ft lbs keep comming to mind. let me triple check that.

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 01:59 PM

So mustank, just yeild to spec and then she's good to go?

edit: waiting tripple check.

93mustank · July 7th, 2009, 02:13 PM

Yup stock rockers torque down and go.....

MustangMatt96GT · July 7th, 2009, 02:14 PM

You have to torque them on the right part of the cam though still.

nope

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 02:27 PM

Sweet. after doing the valvesprings on the car and slapping the rockers and everthing on does it matter were the bottom end since, since the valves were done with the rockers off?

Or can I just put her back togethr and crank it up?

93mustank · July 7th, 2009, 02:31 PM

Dont get what your sayin....

What valve springs did you get?

What was installed height.... What were your measurments for coil bind?

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 02:42 PM

Replacement phead springs... nothing more nothing less. So pretty much the stockers just stronger.

I did the swap with the head on the car. I did the roped trick, compressed the springs and swapped out the springs retainers and locks with the new ones. I followed the firing order. This involved cranking the motor over by hand and I was wondering if it matter were the bottom end was when I go to fire it up for the first time.

93mustank · July 7th, 2009, 02:49 PM

Nothing changed....you didnt remove the cam..didnt remove the distributor..Doesnt matter where the motor is....fire it up

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 02:54 PM

Thats all I want to know buddy. Appreciate it.

I need to go look up the specs on the rockers. I'll get to work on it later... raining out, florida fails.

93mustank · July 7th, 2009, 03:08 PM

Specs are in your arms lol....Thats how i do mine....

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 03:13 PM

nah, can't trust these loaded guns. I'll find a spec and make sure the pushrod can still spin and go from there.

86er · July 7th, 2009, 05:29 PM

just bolt them on torque to 22ft lbs and be done with it, ITS THAT SIMPLE NICK lol

how do you adjust a pedestal mounted rocker?????

Chris951 · July 7th, 2009, 06:47 PM

pedestal mount rockers are 18-20lb's I'm pretty sure

flattusmaximus78 · July 7th, 2009, 07:51 PM

I cranked them all to 22 ftlbs then a couple notces more for safe keeping. Should they have a SMALL it of movement from side to side over the valve? and I meen small. Like a nut hair?

93mustank · July 7th, 2009, 08:59 PM

Side to side is fine
