rockers

Do you have to re adjust the valves when you remove the rocker assembly on a 440?

To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe any 440's came with adj. rockers. (Max wedges did though) . Stockers were stamped steel on a common shaft so no, you don't (indeed can't) adjust the valves.

Not with factory rockers on a Hyd camshaft / lifters.

IF you have adjustable rockers, then yes, I'd recommend it. If not, and you remove the rockers from the shafts, keep in mind there is a left and right in reference to the pushrod cup on the rockers. make sure you go back together correctly. Also remember the shafts only install one correct way. WIth the oiling holes down and to the outside of the engine, pointing toward the valve springs.
