Re: 1997 Black GTP, The Final Project.

So how do you plan on getting the pushrods in there?

This I was thinking the same thing

Don't you have to remove the lim not to mention tightening the headbolts on the inside. Seems like a lot more work instead of calming down the eagerness and just throwing the rockers in after the heads are bolted and the lifters/ pushrods are in.

I think he was just test fitting for pics because he's excited...... At least I hope that's what he was doing...

Jeez.

Calm down everyone.

Those rockers are only finger tight, just wanted to see them together.

Didn't know what I was doing was so wrong.

As of right now, I have no idea how the pushrods will clear the heads. The rockers look to be tilted way to far back, which will cause the pushrods to hit the heads? But, the rockers aren't fully bolted down, just finger tight for now.

This is what had me thinking your were just trying to throw them on like that

Re: 1997 Black GTP, The Final Project.

Well quickly looking when the rockers were on, It seemed like they would hit the head. But after looking closer, I see how it all works out.

I'm aware you can't install the rockers now, because you wouldn't be able to get the push rods in, or really torque down the head.

My sound purpose of doing this, is to see it all done, and I was trying to invision it all completely together.

This is how I envision it all going...

You can torque down the head just fine with rockers on.

Jeez Dan tHis thing done yet?

Re: 1997 Black GTP, The Final Project.

Sooo you can put rockers on before headbolts. Except you leave them loose and wiggle them left/right as needed to put in bolts/pushrods. IT's more of a pita

Re: 1997 Black GTP, The Final Project.

And Dan.. please ensure that the dot on the pedestal is facing the valve. If not.. they are assembled incorrectly,.

I only put the rockers on the head before install, because I wanted to see them completed. Only finger tight. When I went to install, I took them off, torqued down the heads, then reinstalled the rockers.
