Great videos, im currently building my first chevy 350 and you are helping me a great deal thank you.

[kosworkshop]

Thank you for your time and wisdom sir. Very helpful videos and I enjoy the ones for those of us who just getting ready for our first build.

[charlesfry]

That is the simplest way it's been explained so far. Now I'm ready to determine what my push rod lengths will be. Thank you sir for sharing your wisdom.

[jmcenterprises]

Thanks Pete, another great video in the series.

[skeetloc]

Great job. Thanks for making this not so damn complicated. 👍

[Bullwinkle]

straub technologies has the best video for stud mount roller rocker geometry!

[HeyLanny]

Good job on the video and camera was clear and set up well. Thanks for a great educational video.

[briannielsen]

Thanks for the advice this seems like the easiest video I've seen so far on the length of the pushrods. All the other videos did all this extra math which was really confusing. This is the first time I ever built an engine so I'm looking for simple. I just don't want to start the engine up on the test stand and hear bang bang and then the engine is shot. The closest I've come to any internal engine work was to replace the timing belt on my son's 2002 ford focus. When I went to start that up the butterflies were welling up in my gut since I didn't want that bang bang bang noise and the engine is shot. On that car it took me a week of endless hours and many Utube videos to figure out the correct way to install a timing belt. Believe me I felt a complete since of relief and jubilation when the car started and ran properly.

Once again Pete you manage to make me look smart in front of my wife which is no easy task . She's even bought us matching T-shirts hers said I'm smart and mine says I'm with her . Hmmm🙄

[ViceGripGarage]

You mentioned the lifter depressing with too many turns of the rocker nut. I'm assuming you're using a pumped up lifter, right? The spring should depress before the lifter, unless you're running a really heavy spring

[tonybustos]

Very informative, just got the right size rode in, the other got bent when the timming chain broke on my 88 chevy big block

[johnvineyard]

also, , what about adjustable pushrod guide plates, ? your roller on valve stem looked a little to far to the right,

[mcrickyd]

dude your vids are so helpful and awesome.

[jb-iksj]

This is the easiest way I've seen yet on determining pushrod length.

[kurtpoblenz]

Olympic wrench guessing I had to stop the video & laugh at that one 😂😂😂. Great, informative video Pete. Keep em coming 🤘🤘

[pmedeiros]

By far the easiest way explained on how to figure out pushrod length, every other video is take the lift divided by 2 an have a dial indicator. Blah blah blah, this is simple an makes so much more sense.

[richardgalli]

Thank you Pete that was very informative. Working on a ford 400 (6.6L) engine with closed chamber heads (351c). I am a machinist and have a 24" Mitutoyo vernier caliper maybe I can make the adjustable valve push rod tool.

[macfranks]

You can not get a correct pattern on the valve stem with the hydraulic lifters installed and the regular valve springs. Valve spring pressure will push the pushrod down to the bottom of travel every time you rotate the engine through. You have to install checking springs to get a proper rocker arm to valve tip pattern.

[harleyquinn]

i would like a bottle opener, plus i subed and liked the vid, and i turned on notifications.

[bakesee]

Thanks for the honorable mention (lifter conversation)!
