Mach, how do you not remove the fuel lines when removing the motor or doing a head job? .

I said you dont have to "disconnect" the fuel line, and what I am referring to is opening the spring lock coupling. Most people are under the impression that they must disconnect the line where the spring lock coupling is located at the forward lower manifold, and they worry about how to do this and where to get the tool required for it. If you remove the nut that holds the lower half of the fuel line to the head bolt stud on the forward passenger side head bolt, and pull the top rail off of the injectors, the entire fuel line assembly will move to the side and out of the way without the need to open the line at the spring lock coupling, or whatever that fitting is called... Im sure you know what Im talking about.

rocker arm preload? they are pedestal. torue them down on every compression stroke for each cylinder and your done. how do you adjust them? they arent adjustable. unless he gets his heads milled, he may have to use shims, but how do you adjust lifter preload on a non-adjustable rocker?

Sounds to me like you answered your own question.
