reference number to the parts list. When installing the cylinder hold
down screws always use a good grade of RED thread locker. For all
other screws use BLUE thread locker.
Re-lubricating the rocker arms should be done after every 10 hours
of run time. The rocker arms should be lubed with a high grade,
thick Molly lube.
Be cautious not to over lubing the rocker arms.
Too much lube will fill the pushrod tubes and hurt performance. A
good idea is to keep a log of run time on your engine. This will help
you know when to lube the rockers, adjust the rockers, inspect the
engine, etc. For your convenience, we have enclosed a log book
with your engine.
Also check for loose components by observing if any black residue is
omitting from between parts and components of the engine. This
black residue is finely ground metal mixed with oil that seeps from
between engine parts when the parts are loose or not sufficiently
tight. DO NOT run the engine until this situation is properly
addressed.
Valve Rocker adjustment
is a critical part of your engine’s
performance. To ignore adjusting the rockers will lead to excessive
wear of the valve train and considerable loss of performance.
Adjusting the intake and exhaust rockers of each cylinder is
relatively easy to do but requires attention to finesse. If the rockers
are too loose the engine will loose performance and be hard to
start. If the rockers are too tight, it will cause excessive wear and
engine failure. The rockers need to be adjusted after the break in
period is completed and then every 10 hours there after.
