Need advice on starting rebuilt engine

Nice catch on the temp sensor

That sensor shoudl go in the hole that is just to the drivers side of the distributor, on the pic there is a plug right under the fuel filter, thats where it should go.

 

check with cam company and see what THEY say is proper way to break in that cam, I dont have info on me for your cam, valve springs may have inners come out for break-in.

 

Sorry for the bad info, I stand corrected. 1/4 for the 302 and below and 5/16 for the 351W.

 

I appreciate your help and everybody else's, sorry i didn't have time to respond yesterday. As far as the internals of an engine, i'm clueless. The engine shop installed them, but how can I tell if they are roller tips or full roller rockers? I just know they are called -Comp Cams' Magnum Roller Rocker Arms because I have the paperwork.

 

Yeah I wanted to see what the vacuum temp was - not! Thanks for pointing that out, I'll get this stuff straight one way or another. I'll move it to the other plug where Ryan mentioned, thank you Ryan also.

 

Thanks for the heads up on that. I emailed the company.

 

From what I can tell the PRO Magnums are full roller, and the Magnums aare roller tip. Both styles have a bearing at the tip where it pushes down on the valve. The full roller rockers or what most people just refer to as roller rockers have a bearing in the middle of the rocker arm that it pivots on instead of pivoting on the half ball shaped insert that the steel rocker arms rock on. If they were full roller rockers you would have a large nut sticking up with a little allen head jam nut inside it to set the nut after it is adjusted.

These are full roller rockers, require adjustment after install and engine running



These are roller tip rocker arms, torque to spec like original rockers and no adjustment neccessary

 

I'll start looking into it, thanks. I sure hope they're compatible!

 

Alright cool. I have roller tips then. Damn I be learning! Thanks

 

Took the valve covers off, 1.6 is actually stamped on them.
