so some one told me there is no valve lash adjustment for the roller 5.0, he said you just torque down the rockers to spec. i wanna do a cam in by car and im just researching if i can do it myself.
+11/4 to 3/4 turn of the bolt past zero lash is the correct setting. For the stock style pedestles this means you might need shims in order to get to the correct torque and still have the correct lash, since there is a torque specification and a lash specification.
True. Proper lifter preload for stock pedestal rocker style heads (if adjustment is needed) is achieved using shim kits available from companies such as crane. If you can't get enough preload, longer push rods are needed. Pedestal rocker bolts are torqued to 22 ft. lbs. Under normal conditions with stock components, push rods, lifters, rockers, cams etc. shims are not needed as factory tolerances were real close. I've never found a shim under any pedestal rocker that I've removed from a stock engine, that does not mean there aren't any, I've just never found one. If you don't torque down the pedestal retainer bolt, ugly things will happen.im talkin about a stock motor. he said the lifters are hydralic and fill up with oil and adjust themselves. but if i did go with a new cam it would prob be trickflow stage 1 and 1.6 roller rockers.
