RWDAddict Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 So here is a pic with it adjusted cold on the intake side to .010 Are the adjustments too far into the nut, doesn't seem right. http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/RWDaddict/Mobile%20Uploads/0926142121_zpsf2g1abhs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Are those the long adjusters? There are short adjusters for the long "83" valve stems and then the long adjusters for the short hydraulic headed valves. You can get them from enginemachineservice.com I would NEVER run it with them like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 sweet gasket by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) There are two different manual rocker adjuster lengths? The valve stem length determines the use of the short or long version, meaning there are longer and shorter valve varients? I have the same type of rockers in my mystery craigslist motorAre they from a different g54b motor varient?What lash should they be adjusted to? lots of questions on the subject, too chicken to take my mech head apart since it runs Edited September 27, 2014 by Squrlsquash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyWadd Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Ya mismatched valves and adjuster screws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWDAddict Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Looks like I need to get longer screws. As for that sweet gasket, it's the M28 cast head, it would be stupid expensive to import one from Australia, so I made my own, looks like balls but should seal up :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you running the mpi intake as well? We learned the hard way that that Aussie head and starquest intake don't work. The quest intake doesn't cover the water passage, soyhe intake had to have additional metal welded to it. I also made him a custom gasket. It took almost two hours, but looks as good as any fel pro... And it sealed fine, and so should yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all lines up fine from the head to the intake, i had to swap over the water neck to the other side, make my own gasket, and swap the intake plenum. I also got the long runners by accident (rather just didn't know there was a long one) and had to cut those down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 So your using a magna mpi intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooBoys 88 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Guys I'm using the magna mpi and my problem is I wonder if I should true the surface to my head because my #2 injector is in the way of a stud so I kind took a thin piece of paper gasket some marine black rtv cut it out to shape and basically glued it with that rtv to the intake then when I used it it worked fine. By the way hello I'm Michael from miami. I run an 88 with parts built from the greats/ DAD and ProfessorQuest. I'm currently runing the MagnaMPI with mega squirt 2 TC05 ported 20g 15 lbs over sized SS valves 1mm shnider cam274 and springs Mk1 trigger wheel set up but haven't figured out how to connect the magnetic pickup sensor so still relying on distributor I also have my set of ls1 coils and I plan to use them, act clutch fully sleeved motor yes I cut the block and now have std.wiesco pistons and sleeves walboro255 and a bigger intercooler this magna works very well as it is so my question is how can I improve or do I even need to now that I really have to much tech on a somewhat stock car?

Tim_C. Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 You can tighten up the cold adjustment to .008 exhaust, and .006 intake. It will run better and not cause any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
