Im the victim of a bad valve job, some of my valves arent closing all the way. Can anybody reccomend a good affordable solution? Who makes a good affordable set of adjustable roller rockers? I heard the proforms are to short... Thanks

Yea, 110 is pretty low, across the board they are all 110, think it's time to Yank it out. Sounds good however. Hmm. Time to bite the bullshit.

I eyeballed can when intake was off looked good, but maybe. How would you check it. Measure lift on pushrods as you turn over crank?

I thought they were reputable too.thanks for info. Gonna have to get a set. Why did you change push rods with the adjustable rockers. Thanks

Dry with compressed air

Wasn't milled,supposedly valve seats were redone.

I think your right, I measured distance from top of valve to top of valve spring retainer was getting big differences from valve to valve. I dont think valves are closing fully,plus when it was running could see huge flames coming out headers. What adjustable rockers do you reccomend?

Pulled valve cover off noticed valves aren't closing all the way tried. 030 shims under rocker rod made big difference on 3 cylinders except #5 was way to loose,would have tossed push rod. Just had head job done wtf. Is this normal. ?

110 was cranking, 15 leak was with air to compression tester, could hear air leaking off.

Did. a. Leakdown test on my 383 110psi,on all. 8,with 15psi leak. Static. Is that any good?

I'm hakireving same problem, its killing me 71 road runner. No volltage rise with throttle. Let me. Know

Changed ballast yo. 08 to match Med blaster coil.too.

Alternator is kicking 14 when running. Changed pickup coil in distributor with a "standard " pickup coil made a improvement, however noticed that pickup does not match up with reluctor correctly, 1/4 of pickup part is not getting sweeped by reluctantly. Hmmmmm

Cool ,thanks for reply, will check. ..also noticed on ossilliscope, there is no voltage rise with throttle, should expect to see 30-40k volts on secondary ignition,,doesn't rise above 10k. Do you think its related to low voltage condition. ? Thanks

Yea,10.6 @ bulkhead.
