Stock rocker install questions.

squeeeg · Jul 6, 2005

I have done a search and got most of the information that I need but have another(fairly stupid) question. I am using the bone stock rockers and they have the U shaped part under them. Which direction does that part go. Is the U part facing up or down? Also any other quick tips on adjusting them would also be great. The quicker the better but you guys are usually good about that.

I was under the impression that stock rockers were not adjustable, but I guess I could be wrong. I thought you just had to torque them down to spec and that was it.

could be. I am not completely sure. Anybody know the torque spec off hand?

Anybody know about the U shaped spacer type things that are there.

U-shaped spacer things? The thing that sits in the rocker with a hole for the bolt? Look under it, you'll see two grooves in it. Also take a look at the rockers, they will also have two grooves. just make sure the grooves mate each other... Other than that there are u shaped shims with two holes, that goes on the head ("U" facing upwards)... Why did you remove the rockers for?

Head gasket change. It is almost all together. Just this and the upper intake to go. Wanted to make sure that it goes together right.

I was talking about the U shaped things that go between the head and the rocker not the ones in the rocker themselves. Now I just have to go torque them down. Hopefully I can get it running here soon.

Good luck with all of this... hey now...

Did you put some thread sealer on the bottom head bolts (small ones)? Did you also torque the bolts correctly (like the middle top, middle lower, the ones on the left of that, then the ones on the right, very left bolts, lastly the very right bolts). I don't remember the torque specs off hand but something like 50 the first round and xx the next...

Ya I torqued it down correctly I followed the books specs on numbers and order(which is the same that you mentioned.) Tomorrow morning I am going to button it all up and turn the key.

Everybody here will see either or We shall see.

Can you post a pic of the part you are describing?

I already figured out the part that I need to know the direction. It is the shim between the head and the rocker.

If you couldn't tell it didn't start for me. It wants to but it just won't kick over. I had to go to work before I really could get to it so tomorrow morning it is time to start jricher's no start checklist
