OK, picked up this engine, non-roller, but had the mpfi. I have gone through the engine, replaced rings and bearings. Picked up a set of GT40p heads. Got em machined for the 1/2 head bolts and put them on.
Right now setting valve lash using this method, have not really set valve lash before

So I have gone 2 1/4 turns and already have a push rod that still spins real easy and the nut is really really tight.
Using the stock valve train. I picked up a set of rocker arm shims, 4 thickness or should I look at longer push rods, right now, stock ones are 8.25" long
thanks for any help

Re: Non roller 90's vintage 351W
Those heads should have bolt on rockers unless they have been converted. What have you changed to make them adjustable?
