I'm picking up a car in Oklahoma that just had valvesprings replaced (one broke, so the owner had his heavy machinery mechanic replace them all).

I'd like to have a shop familiar with LS1/LSx's adjust all the lifter preloads and do a general inspection to make sure the car is up to a 10 hour drive.

Anyone know of any reputable shops around the Oklahoma City area?

Thanks!!

there is a thread or quote on her ethat explains how to measure preload just by the turn of the bolt let me find it.

like said in the second post. get the lifter on the base circle of the cam, loosten the bolt on the rocker, put it finger tight. then count the turns till its truely tight(22ftlbs) then it should be around 1 3/4 of a turn of preload.

I understand how to install rockers as stock valvetrain is not adjustable.

I was looking for a shop that around OKC that might have an adjustable pushrod length checker and possibly stock different length pushrods so I could set the lifters to .090 and get rid of some of the valvetrain noise.

Or at the very least, a dial indicator to see if the stock pushrods that are in there have shrunk/bent slightly and are not providing enough length for the correct preload.

use the bolt method on the link i provided. every full turn is .049 thou i believe it says, so u would want just under 2 turns, hope this helps
