le1 heads/joe o cam, the whole works
put in comp r lifters and comp 1.6 rockers. we adjusted the rockers to 1 full turn past zero lash. wasn't putting down the numbers it should and i posted in here a while back and was told to go in between 1/16th-1/8th/ or 1/4th past zero lash. so i backed them off 3/4 turn today, so they should be set at 1/4 past zero lash.

obviously the valvetrain was a little more noisy that a stock car (after the head/cam install), but now it sounds louder than it was before we adjusted them to 1/4 today., like they are too loose. is this common or is this a problem? i need help soon because i don't want to mess it up , to much $$ involved in it.

also, i personally haven't heard the car after adjusting them, my dad did.
he's been an ase certified tech for 25 years.

 

Not sure how loud they are but ive heard they are louder than stock. Guess ill find out i have a set of comp r's going in as soon as the bottom end gets done

 

Did you just back them off?

Try setting them to 1/4 turn past zero lash instead (Back them off completely and then adjust).

I'm running my Comp R's at 1/8 past zero lash.

 

As has been said many times in many threads regarding the Rs,
my lash is 1/8 turn (adjusted cold) past zero with 7/16" studs.

The car seems to run just fine. I'll have dyno info to post after
the 29th.

 

Try resetting the lash to 1/8 past then maybe 1/16 or so past that if it's still really noisy. I wouldn't go past 1/4 or you'll probably start bending pushrods, but in worst case I'd rather be slightly too tight then too loose. Better to bend a pushrod then to drop a valve.
