totally new to Me. Question ? can I adjust my adjustable rockers down to bottom out and back off say 60 thou. to achieve proper pre load?.( lobe on base ) ( HYD cam) tried the finger turning way,but rod up against rocker with adj. backed all way out and has slight resistance there ???. probably a thread here on this but I can't find it.
any help appreciated.
Thanks, Jim



Not quite getting what you mean..??

I go 3/4 a turn after the adjuster seats in pushrod. You can go more(id say no more than 1.5 turns) or less(no less than 1/2 a turn. But I have been doing it this way(3/4) for years with no problem. it does take some touch..I do not use a tool to find the "seated" point, but use my fingers as it is really tricky to find the exact point that the "lash" is out.

Important to make sure that the rocker adjuster is in its proper "sweet spot" in the rocker after you are done. Depends on the mfg as they arent all the same. If you eff this up you will get rocker/adjuster failure or lack of oiling to the p/r.

Its not rocket science..
