I love them covers too, looked so hot so had to get them. will be goin an 1" spacer, if i have to go bigger i will. and if hood will be a problem, may have to go buldge.... gulp. Oh the exploder will be goin on top,

Ah the clutch, im scared to brake the feebal t5, so went for a organic style for now, till i lurn not to kill it lol.

NOOO!!! Say no to the bonnet buldge!! They don't suit ED's! But yeah, sweet rocker covers!!

Oh, and I found this one of your car too...

pfffft, sif go bonnet bulge man.

adapt a carby-style air cleaner and cut a nice round hole out and have a chrome lid on it

hahah, damn, if i go aftermarket ecu, i will be goin a funnel web manifold. but other wise, if clearence is an issure, and cutting them support webing in the hood doesnt help, got no choice there.


Well ran into another problem, the 1.6crane rockers are pushing the valves open a few mm, so push rods gona need to be changed or maybe source some 1.6 adjustables? if they are available.

Nah definately need new shorter pushrods.
Adjusting the rockers allows you to get correct lifter pre-load.

just finish the F******G thing already geeeez your slack

sitttin there rusting away and sleeps next to a holden. if you dont hurry it will learn bad habbits for the holden

Sleeps next to a holden? The Sprint or Nic??

I get the impression Nic has slept next to worse things than a holden!!

+1

Gota slay the dragons to get to the princeses,

Hmm, strange thing is when the 1.72s where on there, they where fine, well in saying that i never checked before removing. Im assuming if the heads have been faced the said 30thou, the rods should be done anyway.

How you check lifter pre load again? its with the lifter fuller bled down then check clearence from rocker tip to valve.

Yep, the lifter must be bled down.
But there is NO clearance between rocker and valve tip on a hyd roller set-up, thats only solid.
Once the lifter is bled down and the rocker your adjusting is on the opposite side of the lobe on the cam, hold the pushrod between your fingers and twist it while turning down the adjuster on the rocker.
Once you feel the pushrod getting abit of friction from the rocker adjuster, stop there then set your pre-load.
Which may be a 1/4, 1/2 or a full turn further. Then lock it up.

and grow to 347ci?

Ah alright, yep thats how i did the 1.72 on the EF.

Well i took another look then at the motor, the lifter seemed to have bled down over night, now all the valves are closed where they should be, and the pushrod can also be freely turned, why would of they push the valves open last night when i bolted them on, hmm

nah thats gay, would have to be minimum 351ci
