350Q reassembly Part XIII February 12 2007 at 10:24 PM		Mark Weller (Login mweller)
Response to 350Q Reassembly

Valve train assembly time installed 16 pushrods, 16 rocker arms and set the valve lash on all tonight. it is getting close to fire it up time. I just might have to figure out a way to do that on the engine stand if I can. OK so here goes with the photos Pic 1 16 pushrods laid out on top of the intake ready to be installed. Pic 2 prelubing the pushrods just cause I like the idea. there is more prelube in this motor than at the autoparts store down the street. Pic 3 pushrods, rocker arms and the appropriate fasteners installed ready to be adjusted. Last but not least all done for the night all installed and adjusted to spec ready for valve covers and the rest of the hardware. Got to get to NAPA and see how many molded hoses they can match up for me. Then I can get the cooling system finished off.
