This is what I have on the 440-
Trick Flo heads
roller rockers
Comp cam and lifters
Problem-
Once assembled I put a full turn on rockers, ran badly on startup until warm and then decent,
Upon being advised I adjusted them to zero lash just to see what I had from there, same thing, ran badly cold (with a few seconds of light clacking) and decent when hot,
being advised by a Mopar guy I put 1/4 turn on them (cold engine) and the clacking actually got worse, so I put a half turn on them (warm) and the clacking and erratic startup got even worse, also while Im adjusting one rocker, the one next to it thats depressed begins to rise about half of its distance and the pushrods are very easy to push down making the rocker lightly touching at zero lash-sorry for the long post but im trying to get it all in to take care of some questions ahead o time, any suggestions?
