| − | '''Here's a list of some areas of the valve train that need to be checked and verified. This is a general guide, and is not all-inclusive. Not all points will apply to all engine builds. There is no substitute for physically measuring critical areas like piston-to-valve clearances or valve spring installed height and coil bind. For those measurements, do not rely solely on published figures:'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | *Springs for installed height
| |
| − | *Coil bind
| |
| − | *Retainer to seal/valve guide boss at full lift
| |
| − | *Retainer to rocker
| |
| − | *Trunnion to stud boss
| |
| − | *Piston-to-valve clearance (both before and after TDC on overlap)
| |
| − | *Push rod to guide slot in head (if used)
| |
| − | *Can use EITHER self-aligning rockers OR pushrod guide slots in head OR guide plates, not two or more of these at the same time
| |
| − | *”Rails” of self aligning rockers (if used) to retainer
| |
| − | *Rocker to valve tip (by adjusting guide plates if used)
| |
| − | *Rocker slot to stud (if using stamped rockers w/pivot balls)
| |
| − | *Proper geometry (push rod length)
| |
| − | *Rocker/polyloc to valve cover or baffle
| |
| − | *Camshaft endplay
| |
| − | *Distributor shaft and gear endplay
| |
| − | *Distributor gear material compatible with cam material
| |
| − | *Hydraulic lifter preload or solid lifter lash setting
| |
| − | *Timing set phasing
| |
| − | *Cam gear to crank gear alignment
| |
| − | *Cam gear end play if roller cam
| |
| − | *If using the SBC OEM roller lifters and retainers (aka dogbones), lobe lift must be kept below 0.354” so the lifters don’t lose contact w/the retainers
| |
| − | *Cam lobe to connecting rod on strokers
