QuestionI changed the intake gasket and the pushrods were replaced in exact order and I now have no compression. If I loosen them there is compression. They are in order because I checked all the lengths ten times. Any thoughts would be great. Is there a way to set them once they have been pulled or do you just tighten them to specs in any position?
AnswerThere is a very specific method for adjusting them, and the proceedure depends on the year and engine.
Just guessing, I would say you may have them out of order.
If I had the year and model I would look it up.
You can do the same by going to http://www.autozone.com/
and enter your vehicle information.
Click on repair info. Then vehicle repair guides. Then select engine/engine overhaul, then rocker arms.
The intake rods, and exhaust rods are probably different legnths, and MUST be placed in the correct hole.
