Well i tried to reassemble the pushrods and rockers, got everything back
together and the engine turns over to freely like i have no compression
so i pulled the valve covers only to find i had some loose rockers
i tighten them up but same thing somebody correct me if im wrong
but this should be a hydralic roller so there should be 0 lash but it still
does the same thing advice plz.

 

what torque spec did you use on the rocker bolts?

and did you put any loc-tite on them? they need a small dab.

 

you need to rotate the motor a couple of times after torqueing them the first time and then re-torque them.

 

did you put the pedstals back?

 

Also 22ft lbs they need to be, turn the motor over a few times, then go over them again..

What did you change??? the cam??heads?? telling us that might help us find your problem.

 

ok what do u guys meen by ''turn the motor over''

 

I was trying to find my misfire and thought it may have been a pushrod
but i think its a intake valve major backfiring over 2800rpm and it backfired
so bad it blew the back out of the air flow gauge on my stock airbox lid!!!

 

rotate the crankshaft...thus rotating the cam which move the rockers
