BlackySS13 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok, so I finally got the crank pulley off as wel as the cover plate and am ready to take the cam out. I am using a 1/4 and a 3/8 rod as recommended by slimsoftball. Here is my question??? About what length do they need to be? I can't fit them in there with the AC condenser right there and would prefer to not take it out. How did you guys slide the rods in with the AC-C still in and connected??? Thanks.

BlackySS13 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 What about the AC, will I be able to move that at all or am I going to have to take it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalls54 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 you shouldn't have to move it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Do I have to remove the rockers and the rods to remove the cam? Just curious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalls54 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 i would at least remove the rods to keep weight off the lifters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 You will not get the cam out if you don't remove the rockers. Neither will you get that rod in. Cut the rods the same length as the cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just cut them an inch or so longer than the cam, worked like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Will they go all the way back, or do I need to put some mags in the back ones. Should have it out tonight after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I know the JPR rods, which I have, will not go all the way back on the passenger side. Your homemade rods may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 That is why I got the two different size rods. I can't remember which side is which, but if you have them on the right sides they will slide all the way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I cant get the 3/8 in either side, but I can get the 1/4 in both sides. I have come across a problem though... I got the drivers side rockers and rods out okay, but the passenger side is giving me trouble and I have rounded off one of the bolts that holds on the rocker. How the heck am I going to get that thing out now? There is no way the cam is coming out because there is too much pressure on it and I can't even twist it.
