I don't think you know what I'm talking about, so here's a couple pics. Nothing could be simpler or easier... You don't use the stock rocker, this slides over the stud and rests on the valve, adjust the pushrod to meet it. Measure the pushrod, order that length.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Denny, you're wrong. The one is plastic, the Lunati checker in the other picture is not. I will guarantee you either is far more accurate then eyeballing where the rocker arm is at....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Fine Denny. You're right. You have to be right. Once you thought you were wrong but you were mistaken!!! I flippin' give up!!!!
I've never built an engine. I've never built a Hot Rod. You are the all time master, I know. Please excuse a mere mortal for questioning you.....
The Lunati checker works excellent....Have you ever tried one??? I guess in your shop, they just aren't used? How do you determine the correct pushrod length on a new engine when you don't have any pushrods, a welding rod and more junk from Harbor Freight???? Tell me again what your current job is that makes you such a flippin' expert on everything????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Here's the setup I use, guess Comp and Lunati have a bit different system. Check the attachment at the bottom. It works great.... I can dig through the computer and post references, too!!!!!!!!Last edited by Dave Severson; 09-23-2007 at 06:46 PM.

Well, I'm still doing it. Still turning cars out of the shop. Still have cars drag racing. I'm not the engine expert, but I don't think you are either. Pat is the expert, he has his own shop and works hard at it every day.....
I don't know it all, but your dial indicator method of checking pushrod length is not as good as the Lunati checker that I have been using for years... Comp's way of checking is also very good, but Pat's is by far the best.
But hey, you just keep digging through the computer and posting stuff. I'll be in the shop....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

But of course you do, Denny. You're and expert at it!!!! I guess I've just missed the pics of all your shop builds.... As for it being expensive, I guess I could buy one if I wanted it, money's not really a big issue here.... My engine guy has a whole shopful of equipment, but I still do my own assemblies and maintenance.... I realize that my two 500 rwhp Fords (one for each of the cars I sponsor) can't possibly measure up with what you run, but hey I keep trying!!!!
Don't you ever get tired of being right all the time? Must be a lot of pressure to maintain that accuracy..... Heck, I don't see where you find time to run your own shop anymore!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

575 Rear wheel horsepower???? Sure would like to see the dyno and build sheet on that one... But heck, mine are just a couple old drag car engines that have been competitive for 3 years now, certainly not built for max hp...just for reliablitiy... Heck, my old sprint car was well over 700 at the flywheel, but that was way back in '78 so it doesn't even count now!!!!
Anyway, you just keep on justifying everything. You can answer this post, then as always, you will get in the last word!!!! I don't really care, I work hard building Hot Rods everyday, and have done so for about 40 years now. I don't apologize to anyone for what I do, nor do I rely on past accomplishments, I just keep on building with no excuses or regrets....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
