Setting rockers on 390
By MQ - 12/18/2001 10:47:55 AM; IP 65.81.184.24
I have a 390 engine and the manual indicates how to "adjust" the rockers. Since there is no rocker arm adjustment they compress the hydraulic lifter and put a "feeler" under between the rocker and valve. The picture looks like a simple step "stick". I have called 1 800 rotunda and they could not find anything. If I can get the thickness of this, I can fabricate one. The part number in the manual for this tool is T65L-6565-A it also references it as Ford part number "TOOL 6565" and replaced by 6565. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. After decking the block and heads I KNOW the rods are the wrong length (I am betting .030 - .060 shorter).

If there is another way that can accurately determine the pushrod length requirement - let me know!

Please help,

M.
