[QUOTE]Originally posted by shade-tree: [QB] If I had $1 to wager, I'd say that you didn't adjust your roller rockers properly. What got me the first couple times is you need to set the rockers to a very small margin of pre-load (I forget, look it up, 0.03 or whatever) and in general using pedestal mount rockers are a pain in the ass to get the pre-load perfect. Watch the lifter. As you're working those fuckers will bleed down and you will make your valvetrain so tight you'll start bending pushrods. When you're on the cam's base circle, just cinch it down to that spec'd preload (watch the pushrod just begin to enter the lifter). [/QB][/QUOTE]

did you install roller rockers with the E cam as well? If so- they could be banging against the valve covers.
