Engine is all done, installed and break in oil dropped, cylinder head retorqued and solid lifters re-adjusted.
One thing worth mentioning for others is it is very important to retorque the Fel pro fiber faced head gasket. These gaskets do compress and the are designed to be retorqued, and you must do this.
I checked my rocker arm lash after 150 miles or so and it had opened up considerably, even developed a lifter tap. Originally setup cold with intakes @.006 and
[email protected]. I decided to set it up there because I knew they would open up on this new motor.
Lash after 150 miles checked before I retorqued the head:
#1 intake .007
#2 intake .008, exhaust .024 (That was the one tapping)
#3 intake .007 exhaust .017
#4 exhaust .019
#5 ok
#6 exhaust .015
