Checking out your channel. I am checking out all the UDX brothers-- UDX-21

Its late 2024 and this is still the best and most accurate method on gootube, Great Video

Vroom vrooom stuff I like.

Can you do this method if there is oil already in the lifters? Thanks.

I'm glad you posted this video. I was overcomplicating things. Do you remember what size of flex pipe that you ordered?

Use the press with the screw on top side of lower control arm instead of bottom of lower control arm. Either way works I guess but if you couldn't raise your vehicle up in the air for clearance of an air impact you would have to use the press with the screw on the top side of the lower control arm. Not saying you did this wrong just pointing out the what ifs if you didn't have a full car/truck lift and only a floor jack to work with. Your vid was good, very instructive.

0:50 “Because it works. That’s why.” GOLD!

I'm having trouble understanding what I'm feeling for in the pushrods. I think where I went wrong was feeling for up and down movement to see if both ends were making contact. It looks like you're making a point to only push up on the rod to see if it makes the rocker move, and I'm wondering if by applying very light pressure downward while jiggling it, I was messing myself up by slightly compressing the lifters. For some reason I'm not wrapping my mind around feeling for drag, because it feels like the more I spin the rod the looser it gets. I spun the motor over about 12 rotations and still got play in a rocker, so there has to be something I'm doing wrong in feeling for zero lash.

AWESOME VID ! Im changing out some leaky intake manifold gaskets on a Ford FE.. The rocker rail/roller rockers need to be removed because the pushrods run through the intake manifold. There is already oil in the motor and in the roller lifters. Can this method still be used on a motor that has already been started ,driven and ran? Can the oil in the roller lifters cause a valve to hang open once this method is used after new gaskets ,rocker rails, pushrods, roller rockers and intake are re installed ?

I need to know how to convert them so I can run them in an engine!

Cant help but hear nothing but snot being sucked up

Thanks for taking all the extra time to make this excellent video! I have to change my G6s radiator as well.

Put it thru dash for convenience

The one under my car definitely not leaking but it's smoking from that exact spot.

If more people will use this simple 90 degree technique, they would not have as many problems with their valuetrain as they do. I think there's just been so many videos with people. Pulling out filler gages and all this other stuff. I think they're scared to try it. 0 lash is 0 lash all day long now on the preload. It's kinda to the individual but I would rather get the preload a little loose than I had to get it too tight. If I'm not sure about the technique i'using you can always go back. And Snug them up. But I've been using this technique for years, and I've never had a problem.

What did u put on there . Sorry novice driver

I need this man. Mine sounds the same way

This repair can also be done from the ground without removing any tires. I just changed my radiator and fan in about 4hrs time.

I remember My Dad setting Valve Lash while the engines were running.

Fart can delete, nice!!!

Just a quick question, do you also add any length to the measurement to account for preload?? Or is this take that into account?

Ok now, that’s pretty cool. Enjoy and thanks for sharing 🏎

Did you per soak the lifters in oil? Some people say to and others say not to.

I got a hydraulic lifter Puller and pulled them all first and took them apart and cleaned them first. My girlfriends Nova 1970 hasn't ran in a while so I noticed the lifter not compressing. After I cleaned them and reinstalled them I did this method. Thanks for this video.

You vid was simple. You’ve made this real easy for me.

That fiero is gonna rip with a stroker motor👍 is it done yet?

Nice work

Hello my friend. Amazing video Stay connected. Have a great day 💯💯

Very much appreciate your showing this method. Any idea how I make sure the final preloading turn is 1/2 turn (as opposed to 3/4 or some other amount)? - 1983 GM 366 engine, everything stock.

With all due respect just watching you get the feel with those big rubber gloves no way You won't be able to have the right feeling with those big gloves I'm sorry

Great video thanks man. About to attempt this today

5 bucks for a brass 3/4 T from Lowes! I just replaced mine. And itll never crack again!

Booger man, The camera operator. 😶‍🌫️

These mech engineers today suck.They all need a ballpeen to the skull for thinking up these sort of stupid things. Isn't no real good way to do these short of just removing the axles....and try it without a lift..lol Their other stupid ideas are one piece front rotors on a 4x4...WTH couldn't they just do two piece like they have done on Rangers and Sploders since the get go? I'm still not quite sure if it's intended,but a few of the EB's (I know my '67 is like that still stock 67 drum,forget the yrs of some of the others I have worked on that were the same) I have worked on with the stock drums all around,you could remove the front drums and leave the hub alone. Working on pretty much anything from late 80's up pisses me off to no end.Tell me,WTF does a little OHV and prob the SOHC 4.0 need 2 bolts through the bell into the oil pan for? All the Windsor,335,385,FE,Y-block,etc. engines only needed the ones into the block...they all also had a dust cover on the auto's and you didn't have to remove the starter to get to the torque converter nuts.They need multiple shots to the head from a ballpeen!!! It's a easy goin day when I need to work on my '67,'68,'71 and '76 Broncos,'64 Fairlane 500,'89 Mustang (gutted all but the needed EFI components,N/A 347 480hp). I will not do electrical on anything past '90-93 depending on model.Those engineers are also idiots and need to be fried till dead by that 12v system. Wrenching for 43 of my 50yrs starting with my grandfather who was one of the 1st 25 GM Master Mechanics and father that was a '58-'68 US Army Tank Mechanic and later Heavy Equipment mechanic, just what is that garbage you're putting on assembling the rotor? In all my years I have never lubed the pads and never have had squealing,chattering,etc. brakes. You forgot to put antiseaize on the 2 new caliper bolts.And you don't need a torque wrench on them,I've never used a torque wrench on anything but the engine internals and heads or when I was building engine/power packs at JLG and even then just on some of the G6P engine parts.20ft-lb isn't much,if you tighten it with a wrench about the time it starts hurting your hand it's tight enough....lol

Are the push rods supposed to spin after your done

Thank you for this video has helped me with a bumper replacement and saved $2000

HA! Love it! :D

Do you think this would work with a 2004 mustang 3.9. It has a hydraulic cam, and lifters. I hope so because your technique is sure one of the best I've seen.

Spedometer bagus

Hey buddy, saw your video and thought this the fix completely rebuilt the front end. 4 Ball joints and all the tie-rods and drag links ect. Took it back apart and cleaned everything. Still same problem memory steering..

I take it you have to remove the intake manifold to do this if you don't have self centering roller rockers?

This is the best way to do it you get lots of interruptions. You dont have to remember where you left off. Just step back up and continue. Its that easy. Once you do it this way, you wont do it any other way. Runs perfect every time.

Lol

What is that part called that you welded?

Nearly a whole Benjamin

newbie question - My engine is in the truck, belts and all(SBC 406). Bent a pushrod and spun a rocker arm(and missing another pushrod - dont ask) so going to have to do this. Can't seem to rotate it ccw because the nut just backs off. Does it matter which direction I rotate it?

so true!!!!!!!!!!

My car wont start after i did this method an many others i have fuel an spark, is my timing off ? I did crank the motor by hand

Good Video! Nice Rockers and Heads. I've never did this way but will try sometime.
