Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question
you shouldnt have to change the length of your pushrods, wouldnt that defeat the purpose of bigger lobes on the cam?Team NoVa

Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question
they are 1.6 roller rockers....but i called abbott and they said 7.00 is what they run.....if the pushrod is to long the preload on the lfter is to much and its pumping up to much causing the valves to hang.......he also said you should be able to run the rocker bolt in hand tight and you should only have to put between 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn to tighten the bolt to set preload......i just checked mine and its like a 1 1/2 turns....he told me 1 turn is to much.....cause by the time the bolt is tight you can see the rocker start to push the valve down.......i think im gonna have to get some 7.00 pushrodsComment

Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question
really huh......i just knocked the valve cover off and shimed my rockers up .050" and now the bolt after i run it down by hand only taked a little over 1/2 turn to tighten the bolt...before i shimed it i was turning the bolt like 1 1/2 turns to tighten the boltComment

Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question

Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question
the stock lifters let for some play, so 7.05 would of worked just fine.
7.00 pushrods arent 100% needed

Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question
7.05 pushrods, might as well beef them up ZZP's Comp 5/16 ,Comp .105 or ZZP 3/8ths. If you haven't got the cam yet you might look into ZZP GT2 cam it has put down some great #'s. Ask Radracer about his with stock valvetrain.Last edited by ssms5411; 06-05-2009, 05:19 PM.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: Abbott Cam...I have a question
I know...I just didnt want to have to go in twice...plus I plan on doing head next year and bumping up the compression to almost 11:1 if I can...so I just opted to buy some beefier ones...Originally posted by Smoke Panther View Post
