Pump Gas 508 Stroker: Setting up Roller Rockers the Easy Way!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The pump gas Mopar Big Block 508 stroker is getting closer to finally running. In this video I show the easy way of setting up #440source roller tip rockers, on the Indy EZ-1 heads. These rockers are similar in design to Harland Sharp roller rockers, and the same principles apply to the setup of most roller rocker manufacturers.

I definitely love that Valley Pan. I think it’s God’s will for my life to have one of those in my future. Good episode. Enjoying this build series.

Thanks Mike! Definitely worth the $50 extra to get the one with removable center. Easy access to lifters and pushrods of need be.
Awesome thanks for a great video. I’m installing 440 source rockers on my 440 this weekend.

Good luck! The only issue I had with this set was that the rockers ate in to the shaft’s they provided. I checked them after the dyno and they had tracks in most of them. 440 source replaced the shafts for free, but I used Harland sharp shafts in the 508 build.
Nice work. Good detail on the rocker tech. Looks good Joe. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

Outstanding Joe. I'm building another Ford FE for a customer and it's amazing how it looks like Ford was copying the Mopar big block engine. From the rear main seal design, skirted block and rocker arm layout. VERY similar. Great job!

Great video.... Bit disappointing no oil hole at the valve roller yet two holes at the shaft for the roller bearings. The old banana line chamfer on the shafts worked on the stock shafts.... Guess a drill would solve that issue if your were so to be inclined.

Thanks John. It’d need to be a tiny hole. Havent had an issue yet on the 406. We shall see
I replaced the massive steel spacers with cut to length aluminium tube. There is really no stress on them. I'd modifie those rockers with a drill for oiling the Rollers!

Thanks for the video. It’s helpful as I have to do the same shimmy dance to setup my prw rockers for my small block Mopar. I think I need to shave down/clearance a couple of my rocker pedestals as they’re a little too wide and don’t allow my shims to sit flush with the holddowns.

Yes sir. Should fire off soon!
The Mopar shims might be .020" (I know one of the brands is) which by helps getting the clearance where you want it. Keep both in the shop. Build is looking good. Man, what if we had parts like these in the old days. Strokers, aluminum heads...We'd all be dead.

Put the thick shims next to the rockers, the thing ones can get into the rocker and seize it.
@JustMoparJoe
Жыл бұрын
I haven’t seen that before. I’d bet it’s a high rpm, too tight of clearance issue. I did see that the 440 source shims have a raised lip on one side where they were pressed out of a sheet. The mopar performance ones were slick steel on all sides.
Clearance the spacer instead of using thin shims.
@JustMoparJoe
Жыл бұрын
I would, if the spacer was thick enough to cut down. Seems like they could have made them a bit thicker to do that. I have a Hughes kit here too and it was very similar. I also have a comp kit that has different width shims. After analyzing, it seems the 440 stuff works best with their rockers.

What does your shop guy recommend regarding spacing and oiling the rollers?
@JustMoparJoe
Жыл бұрын
Spacing is good at .015-.030. The oiling is said to be ok because of the Massive amount of oil splashed. I want to film inside a cover while it’s running. May be a fun video

If you call Harland Sharp, ask for Randy Jr. And mention my channel name. I’m trying to work a deal for viewers to save some money. Definitely savings over ordering from summit or Mancini. Call them direct.

The 440 source rockers dug into the shafts on my 406, after the dyno pulls. I swapped mine before running it at the track. The Harland shafts are made to work with the same style rocker.

Yes sir. I’m certain I had mentioned that in the video. I went with Harland sharp shafts to prevent the wear issues that I had on my 400 with the 440 source shafts.

Yes sir. According to HS, Mancini pairs an off brand shaft with the red colored rockers to reduce costs. The orange ones get the HS shafts as usual.
