My friend recommended me this he told me he got over 500rwhp
Let me know what you think and thank you all:

looks like a strong bottom end. the cam is a little small but not bad. the 110 lsa will help make power on motor but will not be that good for nitrous if you plan on using it.

the heads on a budget side especially buying a lunati crank. i dont think you would want 59cc combustion chamber. i think your compression would be pretty high on a stroker

well i started the car would not start at first pushrods are to long changed them to 7.250 the car starts fine but all you can hear is chik chik chik noise they told me to change the cam and use one that will work with 7.400 rod lengh i really wanted to go for a ride now i have to wait and see what the problem is someone tell me to use aftermarket rock and someone say chnage cam

Check for the correct length pushrods and get them right. No need to swap the cam just because you need a different length pushrod. Thats like swapping engines because the oil needs to be changed.

I just asked they told me that the rods are perfect length and that my rockers need to be changed but if I chose to change them with aftermarket I will have to tighten them every week or how often I race the car.

Does this sound right or does it sound like he does not know what he is talking about and just trying to play me about?

*edit* they may be right about the rocker part,get a set of yella terra or similar rocker since tfs says to use aftermarket rockers.
on a hydraulic roller you will only need to tighten your rockers once, heck alot of small to medium sized solid rollers don't need cheching for a while.the motor will always be alittle noisy .

I wouldn't take advise on who ever is telling you these things. Set your rockers and you are done.

Who exactly is 'they' ?

Like said above, 'they' is an idiot.

Build your bottom end, select a cam & heads.
Check for PTV clearance.
Select rocker type, stocker is just fine for most.
Then finally, measure pushrod length, buy the correct size & install.

+1 on that


I have traded PM's with Mo and his english is better typed then some of the people on here. You know who you are, type and type and never proof read your post. So give Mo a break, he's doing very well considering this isn't his first language.

Thank you guys

I was really excited that my car was almost finished then when we started it and the sound of the rockers made me kind of depressed hope to solve it soon.

with your heads your stock rockers should be fine. changing the cam because of the push rod is not the best way to fix the problem. assemble it and measure for the push length, order the right size and you are done with it. push rods are also cheaper than order a new cam

I was just pointing it out because I had to read it over a couple times and then it confused me for a minute so I thought I would point it out, not giving him a hard time, just pointing it out for him so that he knows for the future. Is this not a site for learning? I am helping him learn the proper way of spelling "stroker". If I was spelling something wrong, I would want to know just like your teachers let you know in school. Maybe it is because I work with kids, I dunno....

And on a side note Mr. Doug, what happened with your car? I thought I was going to get a call for some races? I saw that you missed your mark at the track, I am disapointed you couldnt get in the 11's, but then again, I need to get to the track myself.

Jesus this isnt a damn grammar lesson. You obviously know what the guy meant so why even bring it up. The noise in the video definitely sounds like your valvetrain is loose. Pull the covers. Double check your pushrod length. Make sure they are the right length. Tighten your rockers to I believe 1/2 to 3/4 turn or 22lb. What kind of rockers are you using?

My name isnt Jesus and I brought it up so he could "learn". Its what the site is for, just like what you just posted is for, so he could learn how to fix the noise.

Getting back to the orginal question.
As stated by some of the members above if you don't have the knowledge or tools, have a good shop check your set up for the correct push rod length.
I would not change rockers at this point.
Adding adjustable rockers and then tightening them to eleminate the noise will change the geometry and cause other problems.
Fix the problem by installing the correct push rods, then if you like you can change rockers.
By the way stock rockers are fine for nearly all but the most serious race engines.

Good Luck, I hope you get your problem corrected .
