Finally got around to adjusting my valves...

First, I took the valvetrain apart:





Then I 'adjusted' my valve springs, retainers, locks, rocker studs, guideplates, pushrods and rockers...




I also adjusted my rocker ratio:




Now I've got to call it a night. Next up I need to trim and clean my rocker covers, and adjust the whole valve train.

Parts used: LT4 hotcam valve springs, retainers and locks - ARP 7/16 studs - Trick Flow guideplates - Wysco stainless 1.6 ratio 7/16 stud mount rockers.

I wish I could see someone do that process once live so I could do it myself. Makes me nervous never having done it. Someone needs to do a video of the process.

I wish I were as wise as you guys.

I tried to undertake the project myself, being a relative newb. I broke a rocker, bent 4 pushrods, and I've spend like $800 total on the project, and the car still runs like crap.
