RE: 428 adj. rocker frustration!
By Chris Teeling - 03/12/2001 10:57:20 PM; IP 64.12.102.48
I run a Comp. Cams 288 hydraulic cam and lifters. I have the same problem with noisy lifters at hot idle. I tried manually bleeding down the lifters and adjusting to .150 (half way between the specified .100 & .200 range). The lifters still made about the same amount of noise! I think I did manage to dislodge one of the feet on one lifter's check valve retainer. After that, whenever I did a burnout, the pushrods on that cylinder would bend. This happened three times before I took the engine apart looking for valve problems.
Has anyone tried adjusting the valves on a running engine? I am about to try it but wonder how I will be able to keep a wrench on the end of a moving rocker arm. I have done this on engines with stud mounted rockers but never on the FE shaft mounted rockers. I am certainly willing to try if it will really help. From the comments in the posts above, I suspect the problem is with really the Comp Cams lifter.
This thread, so far...
