| RE: locking adjusters |

Check out item #1808222058 on ebay. These are the lock-nut adjusters that replace the self-locking adjusters on adjustable FE rockers.
There's also a company in CA, Rocker Arm Specialists. Thay offer a complete refurbished FE rocker arm with a lock nut style adjuster. I've purchased their complete set with HD shafts, billet alum. stands/end supports. Haven't run 'em yet but they look nice. Hope they work well.
I've had similar probs with the stock adjustable locking adjusters loosing their locking ability thus allowing them to back out and cause obvious problems. Don't like 'em. Won't run them anymore.
Here's a crazy quick fix if you ever have a stock style adjuster back out on you......you carry a few tools along right? Remove the adjuster, use a handy tool like a hammer or vice grips or a rock. Smack the adjusters threads up a little so they're buggered and run it back into the rocker. When I showed one of my "bad rockers" to a machinist friend who once owned a HP 390, he told me this was how he took care of his loose rockers which he said was a common malady.
Have I actually used this method? No. |
