Question:
I have to adjust my rocker arms on my 71 351 windsor. I know I have to prime the oil pump first before I do my rocker arms but whats the other steps? Can I just spin the nut down about 8 threads and start and listen for noise and go from there? How do you do rocker arms

If so I would adjust them while the engine is turning or on. If you have aftermarket roller rockers and your heads have screw in studs, loosen the adjustable pushrod pedestals,
(depending on rocker type as well) and install all rockers along with pushrods. After priming the oil pump with a drill
mated to a hex nut onto the shaft...(this takes two people), tighten the pedestals down onto the pushrods until you can feel some resistance to rotating the pushrods in the pedestal sockets. Once you feel a bit of resistance, tighten them 1/4 turn more and tighten the pedestal locking nut.

Before replacing your valve covers, start the engine (messy) and check for any noisy lifters. Shut the engine off and address that pushrod/rocker. Now that the lifters are pumped up you will have an easier time. Repeat the rocker pedestal/pushrod procedure.

What are some performance upgrades that would work?
loosen the rockers up while the motor is running at idle, you will start to hear them ticking, then tighten them down 1/4 turn at a time until there is no more noise. Or you could just hit the starter manually and tighten them as the the pushrods rise.Will 2004 subaru wrx stock wheels fit 2004 toyota camry?
Since this motor has adjustable rockers (not pedestal type) if the heads are original to the motor, the easiest way to do this is to follow the firing order. Get the piston at top ded center with the intake valve closed and tighten to where it touches the valve, then add a half turn. The same can be done for the exhaust valves afterward following the same order. Also, I like to do a final adjustment when running (although not usually necessary with hydraulic lifters). A simple way to do this is to take an old valve cover and cut holes over the rocker nuts to adjust. Otherwise it gets very messy!Show me how to fix brakes...nissan maxima 2000?

Who knows how is Nissan Patrol?
If the engine is orginal, there are no adjustments. Rocker arms screwed all the way down. If the heads were shaved too much might have to loosen them to start the engine, then screw them all the way down.More Questions & Answers ...
