I adjust the valves on the Olds 455. I use Morel Roller Lifters, Comp Cams Magnum Pushrods, and Harland Sharp Roller Rockers.
I use the method described in Ellison’s Machine Shop Video: https://youtu.be/5EGlb_VpTAw

great looking project, easy way to adjust valves. where can i purchase the oiler bottle you used? thanks
What's the length on the pushrods
Hutch- how tall are those rocker studs you are using. Would they be 1.75 effective thread length? I see many lengths listed on summit. I think I'm going with the Harland Sharp rockers as well.
What's the length on the push rods
I see you have installed your oil valley tray do the roller lifters roll on the center of the cam lobe or are they off center of the cam lobe i ask because there is a picture someone posted showing the roller lifters running off to one side of the lobe i don't know who's cam he is using but he is using the same lifters you are
I was taught to write the firing order down put the last 4under the first 4 in the firing order with hydro lifters. So when #1 is top dead center intake stroke #6 is top dead center exhaust stroke. And so on making just 4 lifter. adjustments
Brilliant method. Same method used by the Vice Grip Garage guy
That is so ridiculous, just adjust them like a normal person. When exhaust just opens, adjust intake. When intake just closes adjust the exhaust. Its called the EOIC method.
Saw that rocker arm adjustment video from Ellison's Machine Shop a while back and have been using that technique ever since. Absolutely ingenious!
Still one of my favorite YouTubers very nice and well put together car
Nice where did you find the metallic blue paint
