Carson Stauffer sells a nice set of rocker arms

Magnum PD · Dec 24, 2016

$2500 roller rockers? Can't afford them.

Timmy · Dec 26, 2016

I've heard some guys having good luck cryo freezing new oem rockers from Ford. You might look into that

Wonder if these are any good

Have you priced the rockers from side action yet?

Magnum PD · Dec 26, 2016

Not yet

Can't get anywhere on their site for what I need.

Check their sponsor page on here. I remember seeing them there.

I would like to replace my rocker arms. Just think they have a lot of slap and wear. Anybody know of a good place to get a new set?

Need more money. Swear.

Thanks for the link.

gwunter · Dec 26, 2016

So is there a way to actually measure the rockers for wear, or are you just guessing magnum? I know you said they felt a little loose

Magnum PD · Dec 26, 2016

The ball joint is what I think wears the most.

Magnum PD · Dec 27, 2016

Got the crank in and two pistons.

I used spacers on the bearing caps to simulate the girdle. One of the connecting rods was hitting the oil spout. Tapped it down some and is ok now. Checked to make sure piston was hitting it also.

Connecting rod side play is also in spec.

Magnum PD · Dec 29, 2016

All pistons are in. Need to put plugs in before cam goes in.

Anybody think the cooling jets or anything else will effect them hitting the rods when under heavy load?

Put girdle on, lifters in with assembly.

Toying with the idea of putting oil pan on without sealant. STILL have powerstrokestang engine stand to start and run for first time. Run it to check everything, get up to operating temp, then do a hot retorque on headstuds. After all that turn it upside down pull pan and inspect bottom end. Where can I get and oil pan gasket?

Did you say cooling jets are hitting?

Did you weld the jets?

I plan on installing the Morrso gasket in the spring. I hit a deer and the dam thing rolled under front to back. It jammed my oil pan (dented), now it drips from the famous spot where the pan transitions from the block to the main bearing. I believe the gasket would have flexed due to it's resiliency and would maintain the seal?

Magnum PD · Jan 3, 2017

Right now cooling jets are NOT hitting. Got a scope coming to get a closer look at them when connecting rod is the closest to the jets.

The jets that are in there now are from riffrafff. First set that did hit were also welded.
