also whats the ideal spark plug gap to use? i bought some NGK BP6EY, do i leave them how they come from factory?

well I'm using hydro lifters and rocker gear from the 5k, so it should all be sweet yea?

 

Just do it and find out, can't say 100%. If its not right they'll either be noicable tight or loose. If they feel really tight then do a quick comp test to make sure they're not holding valves open.

Factory should be pretty close, but for as much effort that it takes its worth checking them. Should be 0.8mm :yes:

hey guys do you think this gap between my fan and my water pump is bad, as the shaft hits the inside bit? I should be able to tighten it up with some nuts but there is that 1mm or so gap

 

Still have a gap when you fit the belt pulley?

LOL.... :2thumbs:

ROLF!!!!! :(

he's eco friendly and has gone windpower only on his waterpump.

 

Best post ever.

:( lets pretend it didnt happen

ok new question, why are the rocker bolts chamferd? i have 3 bolts that i think are from the original hydraulic rocker gear and they seem to have a higher chamfer than the normal 4k bolts, i will get pics when i can, also i think the hydraulic ones are longer,

 

does oil run inside those posts where the bolt goes? i doubt it

 

will i be able to use the shorter 4k bolts with the hydro rocker posts, ill get pics when i get home from work

 

whats the point of the chamfered part, and why is there wear on the bolts themselves, it seems there is something inside the posts that stops them going in nicely, is this normal?

Use the 4k bolts as they're better than the 5k ones. :(

lmao your a legend, why do you think they are better? ive trusted you with heaps hopefully it all goes well :(

ok also is it ok if a few of the hydro rocker arms move a bit? is this because the lifters arent filled with oil yet?

no ideas taz?

Hopefully it is due to the lifters not being primed. If your pushrods are from a dished piston motor and you are running a flattop head, you might be shit out of luck.

would shaving the posts due to the increased lift in the cam fix this problem? i have also had the head shaved, so wouldnt the pushrods if anything be longer? or is the shaving an insignificant amount
