Subject: [Spridgets] Rocker install question

From: Lester Ewing via Spridgets <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2019 14:59:14 -0500

Hi all!

So I have asked this question before but I can’t find/remember the answer so here goes:

Do I need to undo all of the head bolts to remove those that hold the rocker inn place and then re-torque or can I just undo the ones that hold the rocker arm in place and reinstall them ?

Thanks,

Lester

Well, I’ll tell ya..I’ve always drained a bit of water and done all the head bolts. Two years ago at the track a friend had the cotter pin holding the rockers on break (cotter pin for that assembly - there’s a top 10 stupid design). I loaned him a new assembly to bolt on. I was ridiculed by some for suggesting he do all the bolts and he only did those holding the rocker pedestals. He has since failed head gaskets every hour of run time or so, and is now convinced the head is cracked somewhere. 

If I short cut ANYTHING on our cars it always bites me. I’m just not that lucky and there’s no margin in any of the designs on our cars with the exception of the rear hub bearing which we used at work on the Abrams M1A1 tank. 

Ymmv.

I suppose it will depend on the CR your engine runs, how old the head
gasket is and what quality it was when new.  I've removed the rockers to
change a pushrod without taking the head off and gotten away with it.

To each his own. But this isn=E2=80=99t a situation where you need to get ou=

Thanks for the responses guys!

Plan is to :

Back off all the adjusters

Loosen all the head bolts

Remove the head blots to the rocker pillars

Adjust the clearance

Enjoy the sweet music of a properly running engine.

Look down the spark plug holes with a scope to check for piston damage.

Curse that I will have to remove the head anyway

Curse that if I had installed my rebuild with the 1098 stroker crank I could have been driving this car.

YMMV

Not certain how you are getting from=20
Remove the head bolts to the rocker pillars
to
Adjust the clearance
Would you not have any spring compression and then no adjustment?
Which, if true, means the next step is unlikely :-)

Just checking your math.
