So basically I bought a 440 mild cam motor with hydraulic rockers and I let the motor sit and finally was gonna break cam in. Got it oiled up before firing it and it ran good for 5 minutes then heard clicking and then it died. It fired right back up but I was kinda worried so shut it off quickly after. I waited a few weeks until I had the time to open it up and look and I also remembered the previous owner said the rockers arms needed final adjustments. Then I found that two pushrods were off and two nuts that hold down the pushrods were off. Had one blue rocker arm come in contact with spring and knock a nick in it. FYI my first engine break in and etc. So I’m wondering if I’m good to use the rocker arm that has a nick in it? Also what’s best way to tight up the pushrods bc I heard just loosen them and tightened them then rotate 90 and tighten then after two revolutions then tighten all half a turn to set preload...what do you guys think? Does anyone know what brand these are, and if they have manufacturing procedures? Thank you for any help, pics linked to.
