Hey guys, I saw a reply to a noisy rocker question someone had quite awhile back...anyway, I'm having the same problem with the same circumstances...stock length pushrods with rockers pulled from a '95 Cobra, on GT-40 heads. I bought new stock length 5.0 pushrods (6.272") and I've got tons o' noise coming from my valvetrain. During assembly, the rockers went down without a hitch..."0" lash + 1/2 turn on all 16...now they sound like a pissed off sewing machine on steroids.
Getting to the meat of the question, a posted reply by (edit: 90MustangGt) said that I need special pushrods from Crane for the Cobra rockers...I ck'd Jegs, and they sell them for $80 (or $130 for heat treated)...but they're 0.117" longer?? That seems like alot of extra length to be putting into a non-adjustable valvetrain...
I'm running '95 Cobra rockers on stock GT-40 heads with a Lunati 51014 cam (284*int/292*exh total, 218*int/226* exh @ 0.050", 0.500" int/ 0.510" exh) in a freshened/balanced stock bottom end. The thing runs very well, but just like everyone else in the 'stang world who has noisy rockers, it's annoying as hell...please advise, any help is appreciated.
