    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Man I would have liked to attend that class. I did not see your ph# in your sig. I'll send you a pm so I can give you a call. Red Snake, if this were my car (wishing it was), I would have already yanked the heads and changed them out. the customer is upside down on this thing. It's for his...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Just a quick update. Set every valve to 1 full turn past zero lash and still have a moderate valve clatter. After every valve was set, you could still feel the "sponginess" in 1/2 of the lifters. The customer and I have decided to drive it for 500 miles and see if any of the lifters recover. If...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Thanks for all the suggestions, ideads, and offers!! I am probably going to do it the old fashion way with a thin screwdriver in the hole and just find each piston tdc like that. I hope to get some time on this in the next few days and wrap this up. I will report back after she's up and running...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    BTW are there any external ways to find TRUE cyl #1 TDC. Through my reading the only mark that is on these engine is at the timing gear. Now that I have Jack's cylinder adjustment chart I'd like to put my degree wheel on here and do it more accurately than a screwdiver in the hole.

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    You know the system to a tee Greg. I had forgotten to mention the Isky pr guide plates. What about the adjuster setup with the center hex head. Should those be centered in the adjuster bore, and then locked down after valve adjustment? I talked to a local guy who builds performance engines...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Right on Steve, thanks for the info. I'm not involved with building race engines as a forte, and I have never seen that setup before.

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Now that I have this torn apart, I have a better idea of how it is supposed to work. The u-bolts are there for nothing more than to keep the adjuster from backing off. They do not hold any tension on the rocker stud at all. That being said we brought 1 up to TDC, pulled the rockers off for push...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Thanks guys. I really have my back against the wall on this one with the lack of info available. Thanks Hennessy!! Yes, agreed zero lash, is zero lash, however each manufacture has a reccomended setting PAST zero lash, and that's really what I'm looking for. I just took the covers back off this...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    I was hoping you would chime in on this Jack. During my morning search and read, I found a lot of great valvetrain info you had posted including that made easy TDC chart.:2tu: Exactly what did you mean by 1/8" to 1/4" past TDC ,are you referring to crank movement or piston travel? As far as zero...

    Hennessy Valve Adjustment (no info at my disposal)??

    Hey forum, I'm hoping to get some help with this 96 RT/10 that was brought to me from a local body shop. A little history on the car, if I may. It was built for Domenick Rossi back in 1996. It has been wrecked pretty bad a few times. A local body shop purchased this last year at auction (in a...
