Default Re: Please Help Help /no Valve Adjustment On# 8

Man you guys aint going to cut me a break are you, Let me start over my Brother who really dont know much about Motors, He bought a 84 5.0 with a 383 stroker we ran the at MIR. 4 OR 5 Times at first it went a 10.40 then a 10.20 and anyway its was running 10.0s and once he went a 9.97 at 143 mph, Make a long stroy short he wanted to go 9s everytime so i contacted the Man he got it from and he said the Trick Flow heads were out of the box so i told him to have the heads P/P And it should but him in the 9s, So he had them done and when it came time to put the heads back on i went over his house and i set the heads on the block and put the nuts on finger tight and i had to meet my wife at Lowes to pick out some doors and i told him just clean the valve covers ECT. And have everything ready to put back on, Intake Carb. ECT. So i was gone about a hour or so and i walked up to the car and he had a big smile on his face and said look what we got done he had some guy there and they desided to torque the heads down but not knowing they put the push rods, roller rockers on and he said he just finger tighten the poly nuts on before they torque the heads down. So i took the rocker arms off and retorque the heads down he needs to use the soild copper head gaskets i torqued the heads down to 105 lbs. and put everything back togather and something had to happen to the #8 cid. the nut bottoms out and there is about 0.045 they should be 0.026 sorry about miss leading you with the spec. the first time, So i changed push rods rocker arms and lifters still no adjustment, Dont know what to do next, ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS, CAR9FAN
