Not sure if it will give me enogh clearance, but definately worth looking in to. Thanks for the tip

1/2" extension fit perfect.......WHO knew?!:-) I will check for O-rings - thanks.

Thanks for all the great advice so far. I will remove the intake and go from there and then decide which route to take. What size torx is used for the manifold plugs? - not in my tool box at the moment.

A carb rebuild kit is $300-350 here x2 + gaskets and free labor. It may not cost anything but chances are it will. Because the x-ram is "true" to the car, I kept it when having the engine rebuilt a year ago.........but have regretted it pretty much ever since due to the facts mentioned earlier...

"The manifold is Sealed using only sealant - no gaskets......." That was what my engine builder told me, when I picked up my engine a year ago, because he could not get the supplied gaskets to fit - but that it should not be a problem!? He came highly recommended from several people I know, but...

Spring tension was definately too low. I have re-gapped it and put the old cap back on, but havent had a chance to fire it ( the Miss´ dryes clothes in the garage, and does nyt like the smell of Chanel 99-Octane ) This is new to the list as of Saturday after the car stalled last. The engine...

I am so tired of this - it iddles strong.........and then dies. And now it has a strange hissing sound coming from the right side of the engine too - like a constant flow of air or something like that. I am done. I will take it apart again, and check the lifters when I am in the...

I didnt remove the carbs. I have re-adjusted the carbs using the sync tool, checked the idle mixture screws, reset the idle set screws and readjusted the kick-down linkage - to the best of my abilities that is hoping to fix the problem. I do not have a fuel pressure gauge, so cant tell if it is...

Yep, alu-heads hence the 0.006 substraction;-)

My "renovned" engine builder put the oiling holes facing the sky on the right side lifter assembly......!;-)

I have gone over everything I touched 10 times allready. Since this was my first rocker/push rod change, and this issue now occurred, my biggest concern was..........did I mess something up? But since it starts and runs, it must be something else. Both my carbs looks dirty...are all black with...

Maybe - car was sitting for 6-8 months ..........but how to check?

Jep, that is what I am trying - I just need some guidance :)

No choke

Only a little...........like when firing up after sitting for a while.

I have not touched anything else but the lifters and push rods ( well and exhaust, headers, fan.......a nightmare, becuase headers must come off to remove the valve covers when setting lash! ) I have left everything else untouched. I have never taken a carb apart, so I am a bit hessitant. What...

Solid lifter 440 dual carb setup. Ran fine with old lifters set to lash cold on all at 0.028! Changed lifters and pushrods due to cracks in the old lifters. Set the lash according to spec - Purple Cam 528= 0.032 ( 0.026 cold ) Exhaust and 0.028 ( 0.022 cold ) Intake. Also changed the rotor and...

But not as time consuming as having to rebuild the engine again :-) Thanks, I will get cracking.

Thanks, for the tip, but I actually allready tried that. Currently, the clearance on the 4 pairs of lifters are: 0.030 - 0.010 - 0.005 and 0.010..........there is no way, I can pick up a total of 0.065 clearance without shaving the hold downs, as I see it. But let me know what you think.

I am in the process of installing the 1621-16 as well, and need some assistance. The manual from comp cams states, that the clearance between each set/pair of lifters, should be minimun 0.030..........it also states, that fitting may be required due to the holddowns being stampings - and when...
