Just got all the rockers and pushrods and lifters out, some where easy some where difficult, didn’t take more than 25 mins though, was very helpful I had an extendable magnet that could pick them up once pulled fully out,looked at all of the lifters all are same size and one is like slight slightly shorter, not sure if it’s just my eyes though, When reinstalling the lifters, they will have to go in on an angle as I can’t get them straight in on every second rocker if that makes sense. I have uploaded photos on imgr if you would like to see. And is there a way I can share them in comments so I don’t have to send link? https://imgur.com/user/dimaaa3125 Cheers Emilio

Are the lengths of the pushrods the same on carby and efi models? Heading to wreckers at the moment cheers Emilio

Cheers all for the feedback, I’m going to let them sit in a container of oil overnight, hopefully by Saturday I’ll have some time to install them back in and get everything back together. And fingers crossed it works as I’m nearly at the stage of cracking it, also what do you all use as a sealant for the rocker? Some say use a gasket some say don’t? Use the gasket glue from the gun ect... anyone around the Melbourne,Mount Waverley area to assist with this process on Friday or Sat night? Cheers Emilio

Cheers for the feedback all, I’m going to soak the lifter in a bucket so they can at least get some oil into them, then I should just chuck and tourney everything back to gether or crank car by hand first? What would be best?

I’m going to give it a try one last time, I’m going to get a new rocker and push rod as they both stuffed, I have all new lifters in the box. Any easy way to bleed the lifters before I put them in? And also a way to check everything is running smoothly without the rocker cover on? If anyone has the correct torque for the rocker arm bolts please message them through, cheers! Will keep posted!

Thanks for the help guys. The car is nowhere as clean as it looks in photos I’ll tell you that much but I’m getting all the driveline/running gear done first before she goes in for a respray and really wanting to keep it all original, should I give it a crack one last time with getting just a new rocker and push rod? As I know I stuffed up with the torque and having trouble to find a simple explanation on the lash adjustments, I really want to do it myself not just to save money but to learn how to do it bit more satisfying. Or what would I be looking at cash wise to do as you where saying DeanKdx? And also all spark plugs where great besides the one at the very back near the isc, it’s was very very oily and like sludgey for some reason/ maybe from the rocker cover leaking down

When I did put the lifter in i did check the lobes through top, and when I did put lifter in and turned engine over it got stiff so that puts the cam being worn kinda out of it

Nah like it wasn’t all at once it was normal wear and tear, was just going replace them all at once.
