No matter what’s going on in the world or in my life anytime I see a video is posted I watch it. I’m not one for wanting to meet those that I enjoy watching because I know they aren’t the same off camera. But It would be an absolute honor to meet Derek. If you see this Derek I am glad to have been apart of your journey and I believe you deserve everything you have and more. You have worked so hard for it. Congratulations on 1.5 Million and many more to come! 🎉🎉

But I actually just bought a 74 Squarebody k25 camper special with a 383 stroker and a 700R4 and a custom adapted NP205 transfer case on-er and boy I’ll tell you what…. I took her out front of my suburbian household and gave-er a good ol floggin, popped that sucker in two wheel low and roasted the 35” mud terrains and whelp….. I think I collapsed a few lifters and possibly ruined the cam…. She’s a knockin like a good ol Jehovah’s Witness, so I’m watching this here video to get some tech tips cause I’m about to replace all that junk. Thanks to VGG for being the go to! We love you guys!!

Trying this method, please help me out, thanks.
@toyshopfab
Жыл бұрын
@LuisMartinez-fr9gq you'll have plenty of room to rotate the push rods by just removing the valve covers. From what I've learned both methods have the same outcome, the way I do it just has fewer steps. Now here's the problem, these methods only work if you have fully adjustable rockers and if I remember correctly, factory ford heads of that year have pedal stool style rockers which mean that they are tightened down and torqued to spec, everything is preset from the factory so double check before attempting any adjustment. I suggest buying a service/ repair manual from your local auto parts store. Now here's another suggestion, if it's a lite chatter you can usually quite it down by using a oil stabilizer like Lucas oil stabilizer (I use it in everything new or high milage) just make sure to follow the directions on the bottle. I hope this helps and remember, don't just take one person's word for it, always do your research and good luck with your repairs.

Thanks man... just rebuilt my first 351w for my plow truck and I just wanted to be certain it's done the same as the sbc's. I greatly appreciate you spreading the knowledge you have. Thank you my friend

Does this work the same for 351w in a f150

@@tavo24vv27 yes.. its worked great for my 5.8L f150 4x4. Except I followed the ford specs on rocker arm torque specs. Which is 22-ftlbs after finding zero lash on top dead center of each cylinder you're lashing valves on. 2 full rotations will allow you to lash each cylinder in firing order one quarter turn at a time.

Hello my friend thanks for your explanation. I want to ask you if I can do what you did on your ford 5.8L, I have a 1997 mercury mountaineer 5.0L, I have not open the valve covers yet but I know a mechanic told me that I have a clatting on the heads, I want to take the opportunity to do this myself by listening and reading from people like you, do you think my truck goes by torquing like yours or I just need to set zero lash then 3/4 turn to adjust, please help me out my friend, thanks in advance hope you know more than me about my vehicle. To adjust valves.

@@LuisMartinez-fr9gq you need to research is the 5.0L for that year Mercury is a roller Cam and Roller lifters before anything. If they are roller then yes you can do it the same way Derek from VGG shows you in the video. Knowing the firing order and going cylinder to cylinder by order will save a lot of time and hassle.

@@LuisMartinez-fr9gq hydraulic roller lifters only need zero lash with one HALF turn after zero lash. That's what I did and it ran great. 👍

Your small gas engine most likely does not have hydraulic lifters. Common lash is 3-5 thousandths intake and 5-7 thousandths exhaust for a B&S. Just trying to help a feller out.
