Nortech 392. Quad 300s. We went 168 miles offshore that day. Put 450 total miles on the boat chasing yellowfin.

Burnt about 3k in gas too lol.

Good luck with the install. Wooden 5/16 Dow rods work well to hold up the lifters.

Well having difficulty getting stock can out. Pin magnets don't work worth a ****. Going to try and turn old pushrods into magnets instead. This is a bitch.

Take your rocker arms off. Then rotate the cam. The lifters should be held in the lifter trays. Then keep the cam gear installed and use it to pull the cam out. It makes it even easier if you can rotate the cam gear while pulling the cam out.

Alright guys, don't fool around with pin magnets or dowel rods, they are not necessary in most cases. Just spin the cam over and let the trays hold them up. You can even stick a pushrod back in and test to see the holding power of each lifer. Obviously your stock cam MUST be in place for this test. Everyone of my lifters needed 5lbs of force to push them back down to the cam lobe surface.

 

Truck is back together now, tuning tomorrow.

Haha yeah we burnt 560gal of fuel that day. I had 7 buddies with me so we split fuel, came out to like 250 per person. We fished offshore for two days straight, that's the cheapest you'll be able to fish out that far for that long.

Haha yeah not a bad deal. Good you got the cam in and no probs. lots of people just turn the cam when the lobes push the lifters up they usually stick. Heard of them dropping and your screwed. Get er tuned up and let us know how she runs.
