QuestionHi. I just put new heads and valves (used my old rocker
arms, lifters & pushrods) on my 98 ford ranger 3.o, 160,000
miles and now my rocker arms rattle. My old valves seats
were worn badly so they were seating deep. My rocker arms
were worn where they rub on the fulcrum. I'm guessing 20
thousands. Do you think just replacing the rockerarms
would solve this or pushrods and lifters too?
AnswerIt all depends,you will have to be the best judge of that.It all depends on how much longer you want to spend on this project.What I mean is if you want to keep tearing it down.Replace it all is my advice.Those 3.0's are wicked little motors when dialed in.Put a mild little cam in on this next install is my advice,that you can do while replacing the lifters.The push rods are kind of up in the air,but if you want my advice,why risk it?
