Very good explanation of the assembly -- You are the first to say-- set rocker at twenty-five percent right or left of center, in order to make valve rotate. I have a set of heads coming and I will have to look. Maybe , I might find myself buying some extra rocker shaft shims? Since you are the first one to mention the offset of the rocker --- I'll have to see if I can find more out about this setup. ---------- Thank You , Rodney
@@andrewmacdonald1897 you can't rotate the valve by doing that. doesn't matter what's on the instructions. if the vid poster demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic physics then there is nothing to be gained from watching the vid. no telling what other mistakes are being made. watch my vid on the topic of valve rotation for more details.
Uh-oh The valves can't rotate, as the valve stem keepers are wedged onto the valve's shaft, and the keepers are also wedged into the spring's cap. They are all firmly locked together. And the spring's cap can't rotate the spring, nor the spring rotate on the aluminum head. Not to mention, the valve guides are not lubricated. So at 4500 engine rpm, in your theory .. the valve would be spinning constantly, while dry. That is a bad idea on so many levels. Even a tiny side-load at 1000 cycle per minute, would be a ton of friction, in a very hot and dry place. Your valves only salvation is the be pushed as dead-center as mechanically possible, in order to attempt a near perfectly frictionless cycle. Imho
Glad I found this video. All my rockers hit squarely on the valve except one.
Thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge, this video answered some of my questions just by watching it. 😊
Best explanation on installing solid rocker arms I have ever seen. Sounds all good, looks like it would be almost impossible to do in the car.
I live 10 min from cb, great group out there they have helped me a bunch
Solid shafts Rule!
have you noticed that the third rocker is noticeably shorter than the other three?

Can you use the stock rocket block on the solid shaft rocket kit?
.004 on each side of the arm?
Wouldnt the swivel foot fail to spin the valves causing them to overheat, id be running factory rockers
Many thanks for this. Some really useful information learnt. Feel more confident now. Just wished the CB instructions were a little more informative.
i stopped watching as soon as you said rotate the valve.
Why so?

But I do like the rest of the presentation !
