I'm swapping engines here shortly and the longblock I've acquired does not have the pushrods marked as to where they went. It also does not have rocker arms. Should I buy brand new arms and rods or will used ones out of order work? If they work will they cause excessive noise?

 

pushrods don't have to be put back in the same order. but make sur you get the rocker arms back in the same order.

 

The haynes manual says both. Regardless of whether or not the pushrods do I guess I'm buying brand new rockers huh?

 

pushrods do need to be put back in the same order, as they wear just as the rockers do.

 

I guess I'll plan on getting new of both. What would happen if one were to install them all out of order though?

 

valves would open too much or too little causing the engine to breathe funny.

 

I think they are all adjustable rocker arms, aren't they? I'm doubting that .0001-5 of wear will change anything once they are adjusted.

 

Push rods no but if you use the connecting rods make sure they go back on the same way.
