How To Install/Adjust Roller Rockers - SBF With New TrickFlow 11R Heads

In this video, we explain how to properly install and adjust roller rockers. We install these on a new set of TrickFlow 11R heads, which are going on a customer's SBF. The process is nearly identical for any pushrod engine. We hope you gained some knowledge out of this video and maybe the confidence to install a set yourself! If you like these "how to" videos, please let us know in the comment section down below.

Cool video I'm 65 years old and I rebuilt my first engine when I was 12 years old I have been around cars literally all my life watching my dad and my uncle's working on their drag cars every Saturday night they were going over the cars getting them ready for racing on Sunday I was to short to see over the finder of the 55 and 57 Chevys that they had so they built a platform for me to sit on so I could watch them doing the work this way in the mid 60's and good ol'boys building their engines and things were a lot different then you always turned your engine over and got the rockers to just losing there slop as it was called then around here then start the engine and tighten the rockers just enough to take the tap out of it ran it till it was at operating temperature and then adjust each one by backing off the nut till it just started tapping and tighten till it stoped and then tighten the nut up around a half to 3 quarter of a turn and of course us a filler gauge to set them I've heard of and seen different ways of setting them but I really like the way you showed how to do it I'm getting ready to pull the heads off of my 65 Comet with a 302 with 351w heads with roller rockers I'll definitely use your method of adjusting the valves when I put it back together thank you for sharing this with us I'll be looking for more of your videos

Thanks for this video. I've watched others to do the same thing and they made it seem like rocket science. U guys made it seem easy. Thanks again.

Nice video, thank you. I’m working on doing head gaskets on a 302 swapped Miata and this helps a lot

Best video yet on roller rockers with poly locks. Currently gathering parts for a junkyard 97 5.8l roller build for my 70 Torino.

Thanks for doing this just what I needed to help me get my engine right.

Great video! Doing this today. Thanks for posting!

The rocker studs should only be torqued to 45 lbs on an aluminum head application. 55 lbs (as stated in this video) is for an iron head application just fyi

[tonyharris]

I have a 351w with 1.6F rollers. Starting to make a loud tick. When I pulled valve covers some push rods I can spin with my fingers. Not much play up and down but they do spin in place. Is that normal or should I readjust them?

Hi, great video. Have you ever used 11R heads with a comp cams roller cam? Did you change the springs or did you use the preinstalled 11r springs? Regards! Madison

[jonyovanno]

What’s the part number on the push rods?

[chriscooper]

I currently building my first engine ever. This was an amazing video by the way! I have the same rockers. I'm building a 331 with gt40p heads and a comp xe274hr cam. What is the easiest way to measure proper pushrod length?
