    Steel cylinders, or alloy with Steel liners , or alloy with Nikasil or Equilivent coatings.

    @SteveReed-mw4jd Před 21 dnem

    A close-up view of the installation of ONE pushrod tube, and a close-up view of checking ONE valve lash would be helpful. Watching you install twelve pushrods in fast motion from across the room is less than worthless.

    What are the differences between this engine and an e-225-8? Aren’t they both 470?

  • @pfister1583
    @pfister1583 Před 4 měsíci

    If you are just replacing pushrod tube seals does valve lash need to be reset because you have to remove the pushrod and rocker arm? Just curious. My shop is doing this on my 520.

    • @akcylinders
      @akcylinders Před 4 měsíci

      Good question! No need to recheck the valve lash if all you are replacing is the seals. However you would need to be sure that the pushrods go back in the same spot (exhaust vs intake). Also on a lot of 470/520 engines you can’t slide the rocker shaft back in without deflating the hydraulic lifter.
