Reply to "Lifter niose"

Those are shaft mounted rockers, likely Jessel or T&D. -Good stuff. Generally accepted to be more robust than stud/pedestal monted rockers.

Best,

Thank you.
I looked around and they look most like the comp series Jesel rockers. This engine was built 10 years ago, and spent most of the last 10 years sitting in my dads garage. He took it out a few times, but He snapped a half shaft, or U joint on a High rev launch, and when he shattered his clutch disk he was too weak and tired to fix it. As far as the lift goes I did not measure, and I was refering to how far the valve apeared to travel not the push rod. I am not sure which I was meant to measure, but I am now certain that this engine has solid roller lifters, and according to Jegs these rockers have no spring load or RPM limit.
My uncle was in town from Chicago for Thanksgiving, and he used to work at a shop that adjusted valve lash. After I adjusted the one valve that seamed to have excessive lash he checked it cold, then he stuck the feelers in while it was idling.
He said it sounds normal for solid lifters.

Bosswrench I did not put any strain on the Allen key. It is a very small allen key, and it had a little play. I found the setting then held it still and tightened the box wrench. then backed the Allen key off a 1/16th of a turn, and tightened the box wrench and checked the lash. This took 2 or 3 tries to get it right. When I get a chance I am going to go check out my local speed shop, and see if I trust the guys there. Maybe I will put it on their dyno while I am there.
