Default Ls2 solid roller build

I’m building a carbed 408 solid roller cam motor dart pro one heads with a flat top piston. Do I have to have shaft mount rockers or no? Trying to turn about 7500 rpm

Unless you feel like hand-fitting each pushrod for lash. There are some on here who've done it...

If you have to ask, then the answer is yes.

Default TLSR with Lash Caps

Hi YoungBlood, MOST OEM's use a Lash Cap to set Valve/Lifter/Puck distance when Solid.

I provide Lash Caps, 8mm, for YOUR type of use.
Then Upgrade your OEM S/S rockers with CHE's.
The LS-7 came with Lash Caps on the IN side, Many (JAKE) have fit Lash Caps to the EX side to save Valve Stem wear.

What is your Lobe Lift ?
What spring for 7500, easy to fit a PSI 1511ML ?
With good quality valves/seats, the lash distance should be good for 50K miles OR greater.

Hello Youngblood_LS,

When going to a solid lifter setup, you will need a way to adjust lash. The easiest and most efficient way to do this is with an adjustable roller rocker arm. While expensive shaft rocker arm assemblies like those from T&D, Jesel and Crower are the best and most reliable in a racing environment, you could certainly use a less expensive stud mounted variety like the Harland Sharp, Yella Terra brand -etc.

In a addition, a good roller tip rocker arm will allow you to run more lift which will also increase your power output.
