390 valvetrain
Any suggestions as to why the installation of my new Ductile-Iron-Rockers, Lifters, and Matching-Push-rods (All by CraneCams) isn't working out? I followed the Manufacurer's instructions for setting lifter pre-load, but the pushrods seem to be a little short.
Rockers (CRN-34772-16), lifters (CRN-99281-16), push-rods (CRN-34645-16)
My initial set-up included the Edelbrock "Performer Package"( Intake, Carb., Cam., Lifters, springs, etc.) but these components would not work with the engine's stock (non-adjustable) rocker arm assembly. Though the engine was very responsive, several of the springs were close to "coil-bind" so I decided to quit while I was still ahead.
I was hoping the new "Crane Pieces" would solve my problem, but I've only developed a "new one"- No oil pressure since installing the new items.
