I was wondering if I have to readjust my 1.6 rockers or are they self adjusting? Thanks.

 

Not sure about your question...If you are adding Crane rockers then you obviously must initially adjust them by going to zero lash, then 1/2 turn more and then lock the poly locks...Hydraulic systems should not require constant adjusting...My LPE motor's valves haven't been adjusted since Lingenfelter himself ran the valves in 1995...If you mean self aligning then that depends on if you are using guide plates...Self Aligning rockers do not use guide plates to keep the roller on the valve tip...Hope I've made sense...

Thanks for the reply. The rockers have been on the car for about four years now. They tick just a bit louder when there's fresh oil in the car (no tapping, just ticking). I figured that was just the nature of them, heard aftermarket rockers will tick louder than stock. Unless they do need adjustment. I am using a hydralic lift Compucam 210/224.

 

You are welcome...Its better to be a tad on the loose side than too tight anyway...btw I'm using an LPE 211/219 .533int .560exh thats been in since '95 and hasn't needed to be adjusted yet...take care..

Cool...

 

the gold races are self-ALIGNING. not adjusting. but the ticking is normal. a self aligning rocker is noisier by nature
