I thought I adjusted them properly, but I guess not.
I got my car started, timed, and tuned the idle after doing my head/intake/roller rocker install. I took it for a short drive, including a blast on the highway when my car started making a really loud ticking noise. My heart completely sank, I limped it home.
I pulled off my valve covers and one of my rockers was so loose I could move it off the valve. (Sigh of relief, I'm happy it wasn't more serious).
Anyways, what's involved in setting up roller rockers? I thought all I had to do was make sure the intake and exhaust lifters were on the base circle and then tighten down the rocker until it was at zero lash + 1/2 a turn. Then tighten the lock screw.
Am I missing something?
I have a hydraulic flat tappet cam with Crane Blazer 1.6 roller rockers.
Thanks for your help!
