This video covers the installation of roller lifters, roller rockers, and pushrods. It also covers how to align the rocker arms and set up pushrod guide plates. This work was done on a small block Chevy, but the principals apply to other engines getting these parts.
This video is an excerpt from a longer video where I build a 383 stroker for my 1990 C1500 pick up, #ETCGDadsTruck.

Give Ellisons Machine Shop a view
Add you get a push rod…ðŸ‘Â😂
I would use 1 piece guide plates. I wonder if 1970 Z28 LT1 guide plates would fit this head. I also do not spin the pushrod, instead I use the up/down method. I use the EOIC method as well.
Thank you for this information packet video Eric! well done.
How did you know how long the push rods should be?
Like the content and quality of this video !
Thanks Eric really educational in ready to move forward on my build
So you just went down the line starting at cylinder 1, and didn't go through the firing order?

Thanks for the explanation!!
i thing with 3|8 -24 rockerstunts neet 270 deegre preload a 7|16 -20 rockerstunds net he half turn . but is imprtant wich lifter manufaktor you use rowe ohnly net 1|4 turn .
I kinda wish we'd used those two-piece guides on our current build over the edelbrock ones that came on the heads. The eddy's aren't terrible, the rollers make full contact with the valve tip, but they don't quite line up as straight and wiggle-free as I'd prefer
thanks
That really was a great video.
Aaaaaaand you get a sub.
By far the best video on this topic, thank you Eric ðŸ‘Â
He said the minute one valve starts moving adjust the other one It ain't necessarily so. This does NOT take into account valve OVERLAP This is a period of time when BOTH valves are open at the same time The minute the intake starts to open the exhaust valve is still open for a while which is a BAD time to adjust the exhaust valve This isn't the case if you watch the exhaust valve begin to move
Good easy to understand video, thank you!
Pro job Eric!
Good Eric
