3.0L rebuild

stmitch - what push rods are you using with those rockers? Are they the stock length??? 5.33 and 5/16?

Stock pushrods. No changes. I built the engine and installed the rockers out of the truck, so I had great views of the roller tip/valve interface. I cycled the engine by hand many times and saw no issues that concerned me, as long as the rocker was bolted on straight. I don't have a ton of miles on them, but no issues so far.

do you have the part number for the rockers you used?

I don't remember with much certainty. I may have it stashed somewhere, but I'm in the middle of moving into a new house right now, so things are a bit chaotic. If I come across it, I'll report back.

Just going from memory, I think the 1.8:1 rockers were a slight variation of Harland Sharp #SLS18. The package said something like SLS18-M. I don't know what if any changes the "-M" indicates, but I'm guessing they have a custom pedestal. Perhaps an inquiry to the manufacturer would help to clarify. Sorry I can't be more helpful right now.

You could always get them directly from Moranav6racing too.
