The sewing machine noise finally drove me crazy after the addition of the headers.

And... no new updates... still waiting on the blower's tensioner setup... Rob's screwing me.
Hopefully I can get things moving along before I leave for LS fest.
Did you happen to count the # of turns on the rocker bolts with the 7.4 or the 7.425 pushrods?

I'm running 7.375 and I have some sewing machine noise. Just wondering if you tested that method at all

I used a pushrod length checker tool to determine preload.

Previous preload was .068 and now it is .093

Also experimented with vinyl wrap on my roof... came out alright for my first time, I may order another sheet and give it a another go.

And lastly my pulley/bracket assembly arrived from Superchargersonline. Took nearly a month... So I have everything to put the blower on. But I just landed in AZ for a 2 week business trip. So no progress for awhile...

Those are good, thanks! Wondering how you mounted it using the hardware that came with the cooler, and the lines and fittings. Pretty much everything lol
