AUDIOADDICT02 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Okay, I Know there may not be a whole lot of engine experts on here, but since google isn't helping me at this point, I'll just give it a shot. So my question is: when putting in an aftermarket cam, do you have to match certain rocker arms/valve springs? If so how do you which ones to use?

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 So you're just replacing the stock cam with an aftermarket cam? Just a direct cam swap, correct? If you're reusing the same springs/rockers, I recommend keeping them together. If using aftermarket springs/rockers, it doesn't really matter. If I didn't make that clear enough, lol, just keep the intake springs with the intake rockers, and the exhaust springs with the exhaust rockers, and label them according to the cylinder it came off of.

Smoove Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 you can also contact companies like Compcams or Cranecams and let them know what motor you have. They would be able let you and recommend a cam.

bass_stalker Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 prboboly would have to make sure the engine is at tdc when you install it, and the other standard stuff like lubing it and whatnot, and if the springs and whatnot are stock you may have to replace them to handle the more extreme liff JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Ok, do they absolutely HAVE to be back in the spot, they all look exactly the same?

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 The only reason I say to put them in the same spot is because, if you're not resurfacing your heads or cleaning/replacing your valve stems/guides, the spring/rocker combo might not work as efficiently due to the fact that over the course of the years, that certain valve has been operating at the certain pressure allowed by the spring/rocker.... If you were to get a spring compressor and the compression tester and measure the compression tolerance of the springs individually, you'd notice a difference in compression rates. That's just my way of doing things though, better safe than sorry. Take off, label, put back on. Easy breezy.

Smoove Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 You can also call the guys at Summitracing. They have been very knowledgeable also. I am personally am not familiar with that motor 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads were resurfaced this week since a gasket blew last week.
