I'm pulling my rockers for Rockout installs and putting in new lifters. I have most tools but do I need anything special to do this job? I think, in order to torque the bottom pushrod bases, I need long allen sockets? I have normal length ones.
Then for the rocker bases, I've heard I need a torque extension, or converter, I think it's called to get me in under the frame to tighten those bolts and torque them? I have 3/8" crowsfoot wrenches, but not sure those are long enough (?).
Thanks for the help in advance.

 

"Torque adapter" is what you're referring to...

Thanks, this is required? Or can a swivel joint get in there?

 

I'm no pro, but I've only been able to get in there with the torque adapters.

 

Thanks man! I'll pick one up then! Anything else I need? What about the pushrod tubes basis?

 

For the lifter covers I use long ball tipped Allen sockets. I think mine are around 6" or so. Only other thing I could think of off hand is that I use the two Harley wrenches for the rocker cover bolts. They're tough to get to without

 

Just for my curiosity, what lifters did you decide to use ?

 

I'm going with the standard S&S lifters. I keep hearing great things about them.

 

Cool, I keep wondering if I should splurge and get the premiums when I do my RockOuts ?

 

I would if I was doing cams likely, though I've heard people like them for that application as well. But seeing as I am leaving the original cams in for now, and pushrods, I'm gonna put these in and then if I do cams it later, I'll decide whether or not the new ones are will be premium or not. Have you done lifters before?
