Gotcha, that makes sense now.

So on all the video's they show adjusting to zero lash, turn 1/2" more, then torque the center Allen head poly lock nut to like 20lbs when valve is closed. What affect would 1 or 2 turns preload have on the top of the valve wear pattern when using the dry erase marker? I understand how a...

Does a hydraulic lifter run partially compressed when they are used with adjustable roller rockers? I've never thought about it and just run factory ford heads and non adjustable rockers in the past. I'm gonna put one of the original length 351 push rods in and check the pattern, I guess I...

I was trying to get by without putting tester springs in, but I guess I can if it's mandatory. I don't have a valve spring compressor, but know I could rent one.

Doing my first aluminum head swap on a 96 roller 351 block and never measured for push rods before. I got the heads, rockers, and a adjustable push rod. I was thinking of throwing 2 tacks on one of the original used hydraulic lifters to make it solid for the test. Any reason this wouldn't work?

I heard him mention his son passed away, what happened?

You could get a title that matches the frame Vin from this guys company out of Tennessee and then get a new glove box door tag so both match made if you wanted. I know several people that have used him.

So nice.

This thing is sweet, saw it on Facebook.

Great info, I guess if get it I could use it in a f100 4x4 swap like this with its current np208, I've always wanted to do one.

Get your fatest girlfriend to jump on the front bumper and watch the steering wheel and see if it moves. Then go up on to the Top hole on the axle track bar mount and have her jump on the bumper again and see if the steering wheel moves. That's how I know I got the bump steer gone. Then...

Thats what I was wondering, if I have a 4x4 already do I need that kit.

I found a 81 f150 4x4 T18 at the junkyard with I assume is a np208 transfer case. Would a bronco dana 20 bolt straight up or I would just need that zf adapter ring?

That's what I used on my f100 with a 4r70w

Research for days on how to break in cams, all my ford small block groups with very knowledgeable motor guys have frequent failures due to modern oils and modern cam/lifter materials not being as good quality and failing on break in.
