(I have Crane heavy duty springs)I took all my rockers off and shaved a little off each one with a "bench grinder". When I reinstalled my rockers I made sure that as soon as the pushrod contacted I turned the rocker hold down bolt 3/4 turns anyless youll get noise. If the hold down bolt tightens before 3/4 turns you need to shave the rocker mounts.(even though "Crane" suggest1/4--1 turns will be o.k.) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Yellow94GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 431</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,16,22,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Black94 5.0,<p>Thanks man, I never considered that.

The stands have to be milled true. The bearings in the rockers don't like side loading. With my setup I have the 1.7's and I ended up milling off .025 to get 3/4 turn on exhaust and 1 turn on intake. They are nice and quiet. All I hear now are a few exhaust leaks <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>88gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 579</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,21,23,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Black94 5.0:<br /><strong>so what happened?

I wrecked my car last sunday in the rain. Due to bald tires. It was a hard lesson learned. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I did get to tighten down my rr's before I crashed. I was able to drive it after once adjustment and they were deffinately less noisy. I think I had just a little more nosie that could go, but hey, i guess I don't have to worry about that now.....lol Thanks again, Drew <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
