Took the car for the first real test drive after the cam swap with roller rockers. When installing the rockers, they seemed to slide back and forth a little.

I punched it in D and as soon as the car pulled me back into the seat, I heard 2 louds pops under the hood. I've had backfires thru the intake and exhaust before and it seemed louder than that. Any idea?

The car was running fine as long as I was driving. I came to one stop and all was fine,

I come to another stop and the car is running real rough, like it's missing or something.
My brother thinks a rocker jumped off... We'll pull the covers later if I have a chance which I doubt, any ideas?

 

who cares just get us the new sound clips. haha j/k. hope you find out what happend.

 

Took the driver side cover off. 3 roller rockers came off the center of the spring. Damn it.

 

Didn't use self aligning rockers or guide plates?

 

No, I didn't realize I might need the guide plates.

 

If they aren't self aligning, rollers always need to have guide plates. And remember, when using guide plates you must use hardened pushrods.

 

...And screw-in studs.

hmmm, didn't learn much during those 8000+ posts, eh?

 

:sillylol:

Hope ya get it workin alright, wh- err, Mark
