Okay so the motor is back together and I have read so many different things about the heads and making sure they don't burn threw another cam, because I failed to do it right. I have no idea if the cam will alter my push rod or if I can still run the std rods.
I have all the pictures in the rebuilding the 351C but I had to send the last set of rods back because they were for a M, go figure. I had the entire head gone back through from values to springs, and I have the non adjustable rockers but I need help on what I should be looking for and how to do it.
Rocker arm clearance and what is lifter reload, I heard I button everything down with 20Ft and crank engine over twice and mark where it traveled then losen and do the same then check the difference and it should be around .20-.40 but again I jacked this last motor up so over thinking everything.
I was also told I could use the factory gear and have no issues. I still have the old rods that I would like to put in there and check clearance but I need a head guy to break this down for me please.
Valve lash should not apply to me correct
Cam specs are also in the rebuilding post so you can see what I have got going. Please help me
