im getting some noise from my valvetrain when the motor is cold and sounds like the rocker arms which is a fairly common problem on LT1 motors. adjustment is supposed to be fairly straight forward and ive got an online source that could guide me through it. my question is if anyones ever done it or seen it done. if i cant adjust them or they are messed up, im gonna get some 1.6 roller rockers.(self aligning most likely)

Chris if you need help let me know, I have got ALOT of tools, including a torque wrench that is huge and more sockets than you should need. All my stuff is at the lake but it wouldn't be hard to throw the 2 boxes in the back of the escort.

yea jaxx, if you get a torque wrench, don't cheap out. get a really good one, so that you don't fuck up later on down the road.
