Solid Roller Guys...

[tsanchez]

What did you think of my new rockers on YB.COM Tony?

Well, Im not sure if you are really using them, I mean what will you do in the parking lot now waiting for us slow pokes, just drink beers wishing you could adjust them? haha

File lash caps and shims to get lash......

[quick 52]

when talking about springs has anyone tried the springless system that is out Decuir engine technologies

[QUOTE=lun40119;759629]You need to have a "windowed" block.....cylinder needs to be sealed from oil, and the lazers sit in the cylinder looking up at the valve.

Great, anyone got a windowed 10.7 deck .400 raised cam BBC I could borrow or buy?

I'm also running the coated 2.40" Ti intake valve on a ductile iron seat. Everything looks good so far....

As far as useful life the trophy trucks my build is modeled after get a season maybe two on theirs in a way more violent environment than our street miles drag week situation.

X2 on the pushrods, to get to .5" I'd have to have dual taper to clear the lifter tie bar and the roller body so it's been .120 7/16's to date.

I'm glad I'm not into the racy stuff like Jake, too much $$$$, not enough left for beer.

Wait til you see what I am working on now........if you thought that was "racy".........

Look up those in your area that do spintron testing, they should have a block ready to drop you valvetrain and heads on to do the testing.

Mike, I'm going to run 3/8" pushrods 1/8" wall, which by my figuring leaves 1/8" oil hole. Is that the same wall as yours and do you think it restricts oil flow? Also running TD's steel with .040 spring oilers. Drilled restricters from .020 to .050. Thoughts?

I'm running .030 restriction in my skinny sticks.. the rockers dont need much oiling
but the springs need oil to help remove heat.... I'll see if the springs have enough
oil for cooling this summer.. if I need I will add spray bars but I dont think its gonna
be needed from when I had the covers off when it was running.... JMO

That's what I'm triing to do is cool the springs more along with getting the coil bind issue fixed. Engine oil cooler too.

I'm trying to stay away from running a cooler but I have a LARGE oil system.. I
have a 10 qt pan that I made but I hold it 1 qt short and I have a remote mounted
filter with about 6' of #8 line (3' going to and from the filter) and the filter is in air flow
but again testing will tell

I run an oil cooler on mine, But then my blocks are filled half way. The oil temp has never been over 220 F. So far the spring oilers from the rockers has keep the springs good. I have changed spring twice since 2006, and the spring I took off still check out withen 10 psi of the specs on seat and open.

I just put a cooler on mine. I never saw much over 205 without it last summer. pulling a load up some hills I am not sure what it would do so I put one on. I have about a 8.5 quart system now.

I'm incorporating a cooler into my build (was the plan from Day 1). I figure the extra weight is offset by additional oil capacity, plus the obvious benefit of the cooler itself. I'm plumbing it with -12AN lines though
