Why are my rocker arms so loose?
today i had a few minutes and i removed the pushrods from under the rocker arm to see if they were possibly worn. they were. the wear on the pushrods was only on the lifter side and matched up with where i was experiencing play up top. not sure what to do next. possibly buy new pushrods and see...- Gabe Paterson

Yeah I made sure I had them in right spots before putting cylinder heads on. I’m positive they are correct- Gabe Paterson

I got a new Stock cam from mopar and it looked fine when putting it in. I can’t imagine that would be the issue but I’m also running out of other options. The heads are stock from mopar as well- Gabe Paterson

Why are my rocker arms so loose?
I have probably ran the truck for around 45 minutes wether that be idling or driving low speeds around the block. I also soaked the lifters in oil before installing them as I heard that this would somewhat help with purging air from the lifters. I did this soak for around 6 hours before installing.- Gabe Paterson

Why are my rocker arms so loose?
Sorry if my message sounded rude I was just curious how low oil pressure would affect this part of the valvetrain. I’m very thankful for you giving me your time to try and determine this problem I am having. As for oil pressure my dash gauge was showing good pressure at idle and before starting...- Gabe Paterson

Why are my rocker arms so loose?
Read through entire other thread did very similar process but didn’t miss anything. Heads are brand new so shouldn’t have any replaced valve seats or resurfaced valve stems, where would you put a mechanical oil pressure gauge and why would lack of oil pressure cause me to experience the problem...- Gabe Paterson

Looking online it is approximately $120 to purchase which is not to bad but I wouldn’t want to spend that 4 times and not have the problem resolved, rather spend 120 and test if it fixes problem.- Gabe Paterson

Why are my rocker arms so loose?
I don’t think the lifters are the problem because I have turned the engine over and get full movement on all valves just ticks from all of the excessive play. I don’t think that it is the wrong size rocker arm as I never replaced it. The truck was having similar ticking issues before but it was...- Gabe Paterson

First picture shows lateral play between rocker and top of valve, Second picture shows horizontal play in rocker arm assembly Third picture shows how there is not play between entire rocker arm assembly and cylinder head.- Gabe Paterson

Why are my rocker arms so loose?
Funny story actually when I originally ordered the parts for the rebuild I was doing. I ordered both intake and exhaust pushrods but when my package arrived I received boxes with different part numbers for each intake and exhaust side but the exact same pushrod in both boxes and on my truck I...- Gabe Paterson

Why are my rocker arms so loose?
There weren’t any spacers on the rocker arms the heads weren’t resurfaced but I also didn’t rotate the crank and retorque when putting them back on. I will try that today but it seems the play is not between the rocker arm and the mounting points on the cylinder head and instead just really...- Gabe Paterson
