Nicely explained and easy to follow. I'm using your video as a reference for me adjusting the PRW rockers on my dodge 383. Thank you!

[@MoonBuiltGarage]

Glad it helped!

There's many ways to do this. As long as they all get adjusted right, who cares? Try this next time. Set #1 up on TDC compression ... there are 8 valves that can be fully adjusted and pre-loaded at this point. Turn the engine 1 complete revolution to #1 TDC overlap, you can now fully adjust and pre-load the other 8. This is based on firing order and companion cylinders. I know the SB and BB Chevy, but not the SB Mopar. It can be easily googled for which valves to adjust and when. It is best to set preload with the lifter on the base circle of the cam, not when it's up on the lobe. That way you can see how much the plunger moves away from the retaining clip. It should only be about .030" +/- of pre load.

What heads are you running on this thing? They look like stockers ...

[@MoonBuiltGarage]

Stock...some day I plan on upgrading

[@TTGTO288]

@@MoonBuiltGarage Oh man, a 400+ Cid stroker? That thing is crying for a good flowing set of heads. Heads make all the power on any NA engine ... Indy and Trick flow are the Mopar choice these days, I hear ... spend the extra for Aluminum.

Oh I know! Once the funds allow....

@@MoonBuiltGarage Switching heads later will require a re-tune, maybe bigger injectors. Possibly a higher gph fuel pump. Not to mention a possible change in pushrod length to keep valve train geometry correct. Did you consider that this time around?
