also that is a sale price on the rockers. 11 - 12 usually

 

Just to be clear I'm not knocking your build. Just cringed at the rocker arm cost. Can't wait to see it running.

 

I did not think that at all. I also cringed at the cost.
I'm pretty excited to see it run too....if it runs

 

It looks like I'm gonna have a spare 3.9 sitting in my garage soon. Just getting a game plan together. Some of us don't have a 200,000 dollar budget. Heheheh

 

got in late and only had a few spare minutes to work.
i did have a chance to adjust the rockers. easy enough in this set up. didn't really take long
- @tdc, tighten rocker adjustment while spinning pushrod.
-when it becomes difficult to spin, tighten 1/4-1/2 a turn more.
-tighten down the lock nut @25ftlbs






also finished gasket matching. using a copper cote covering, on gasket and test assembly leaves a perfect outline of the mounting faces. the copper spray leaves a clear edge imprint.
also if you notice in the previous post, i had the lower intake lightly held in place when i did the first head torque sequence. this was to assist in an easy gasket and final fitment.
hopefully, i will get a chance to button it up today or tomorrow.

 

had trouble accessing the proper location in rave, for torque of the lower....dunno what i did with my cd, so i am web pdfing and still no luck.
web search turned up this. look right?
picture of sequence and
intake bolts @7lbs
end clamps @13lbs
final intake bolts @ 38lbs

 

its how i did mine, though on the ends i did 15 lbs as thats the lowes my torque wrench went.

i have the paper printed out if you need them haha

 

muchas gracias, mi amigo.

 

 

dropped the lower im
goo in the rubber gasket , for any head gasketeers.
