I enjoy all of your videos - thank you for taking the time to teach, show, each step… as well as where you encounter issues (too many videos are edited to only show the ‘successful progress’ and skip over the realistic issues we face when working on cars (especially old ones)

Thank you for the kind words. A lot of times, I am learning as I go along so many times, I run into issues that I was not expecting. I try to show as much as I can without making the video too long and boring. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Just about the time I think I have it figured out it kicks my butt. I guess like they say, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", right?

Great video. I noticed you used Ultra Sticky assembly lube on the push rod tips. Why not use the grey assembly lube you used on the lifters? T/Y

I was just trying a couple of different brands to see how they worked. I think any good assembly lube will work fine.

Hello I hope you still respond because I have a urgent question. I just first time disassembled my engine like your's in the video and I wanted to ask, how does it work when you tighten the nut back on holding the rocker arm? I am new to all this, and I am constantly thinking the engine oil will loosen it up. My rocker arm is held in place by a nut on top, and some halfround thing with a flat surface, where the nut comes on top of it. I hope you understand what I mean, like is there no security or threadlock needed for the rocker arm installation? 😅 I'd be glad to hear from you 😄

The nut is a self-locking nut. You don't need any thread locker or lock washer for them. Most companies selling car parts recommend you buy new ones when rebuilding your engine. Normal engine operation should not loosen the rocker arm nuts as long as they are in good condition. If you have any doubt, I recommend replacing them.

I’m doing a very similar aluminum head replacement with stock stamped steel rockers. You said Elderbrock gave you a new length. I can find a recommendation for the dart shp heads. Any ideas?

To determine the correct pushrod length for your SBC engine, you would typically perform a pushrod length measurement using a pushrod length checker tool, taking into account factors like cylinder head type, rocker arm type, camshaft specifications, and valvetrain geometry. There are some videos on KZread explaining the proper procedure. I would also contact Dart to see if they could provide the correct push rod specs for your setup.
