cuple noob questions? - 5/22/2008 11:01:45 AM    Jonboy2389   Posts: 67 Joined: 4/17/2008 Status: offline just wondering on how much of a difference these elitric fans i hear about these are from a stock fan, also in the process of building my motor real soon and was wondering just exactly how do you set it up with the non adjustable valvetrain, i kno it can be done but theres a few things you gota do i kno you dont just tighten down the rockers, and last but not least do you think ill have to get the crank turned for my top end rebuild or itll b fine, the supporting mods are edelbrock victor jr.s i beleive ford hydraulic lifters f303 cam ford 1.6 rockers. Im pretty shure i dont gota change any pushrod lenghts with this setup but was just curious on how to set this all up right on the non adjustable valve train. and was just wondering about getting the crank turned since ima have the motor out sooon, any help is appreciated thanxx alottt!
