  1. GN7 On the Dyno
    SF is mid lift 90* rocker pivot/ valve stem. This does not necessarily put rocker tip on the center of the valve. I was taught the center of tip, smallest pattern years ago. I see the validity of both methods. Discuss away. Wags
  2. GN7 On the Dyno
    Frustrating.......:))ThumbsDwn So after mock up I thought I was good, but after final valve lash was set and spun the engine over a few times it appears im going to have to cut and weld my guide plates to get proper alignment. Anyone know who makes a 7/16" adj guide plate bbc conventional...
  3. GN7 On the Dyno
    Harland Sharp 1.7s. Alignment is off quite a bit on roller to stem ( side to side). Without a lot of cutting and bending the guide plates Brodix supplied will not work. Has anyone used the adjustable guide plates? Also thinking of the crower or jesel sportsman series shaft mount if I really need...

  5. GN7 On the Dyno
    I had a loose rocker and it ended up wearing into the guide. I've looked for a replacement, but everything for an Olds looks different than what I got. I got a new rocker but when I go to tighten it, it still is able to slide because of the groove in the guide. Can anyone point me in the right...
  6. GN7 On the Dyno
    Need to know if i can re-use the stock pushrods, or what is a good replacement for the cam and springs I'm runnin. I would like to stay with 5/16" if possible so I could re-use the stock guideplates, but you guys let me know what you think. Also, what are the lengths of the stock 454 gen V...

  10. GN7 On the Dyno
    i bought a running 454 off of craigslist, it ran for a while then lost main bearings, when i was taking it apart i noticed all of the pushrods are the same length, i thought BBC had staggered pushrods, when searching for new 3/8" pushrods i see they sell them staggered and all the same length...
  11. GN7 On the Dyno
    the length for these were very touchy to figure out so i cut one pushrod & put fuel line over it so i could adjust it to the right length for both the intake & exaust.
  12. GN7 On the Dyno
    Before ordering pushrods...... OPINIONS!!! so im about to order pushrods since i got some extra cash and i have a question... I used converted stock hydrolic lifters to solids by filling them with jb weld to measure the length.. They are off by .006 from the hydrolic lifters im using from...
  13. GN7 On the Dyno
    on checking for pushrod length I'm using the mid lift method like Steelcomp's thread. should I worry about the contact point and pattern where the roller tip contacts the valve stem? I'm at 8.80 on the intake pushrod and square just like Scotts pic but the roller seems to be on one side of the...
  14. GN7 On the Dyno
    Anybody know what length push rods your supposed to use when you convert your Gen VI 454 to studs? I used the Crane conversion stud kit and they stated you need to use 8.25 intake and 9.25 exhaust. Those lengths are to long, when I went to install the Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers the...
  15. GN7 On the Dyno
    If it isn't a trade secret, what's a good method of determining proper pushrod length? As always, your suggestions are greatly appreciated-Ray

I dont wanna re assemble this thing and have a ticking time bomb ive got alota money...
  17. V-Drives
    I put a ser of Pr Comp heads on my 454 and the pushrods are to short, how do I measure for the correct length pushrod? Im also using stainless roller rockers and it is a solid lift cam.
  18. GN7 On the Dyno
    I have a Mark IV BBC and am going to install a solid roller cam in it. I have Crane solid roller lifters and CompCams roller rockers. Am I going to need different pushrods to go with a roller cam? Thanks!
