28758, finished installing new rockers and lash adjusters
Posted by jamesman, Jul-29-02 02:26 AM
well, i put in my new lifters and lash adjusters this weekend and i do have to say that it made a world of difference. My car is at 98000 miles and i noticed that when i took my valve cover off and looked at my lash adjusters that alot of them were in the down position, not all the way up like they are supposed to be. So i decided to change all of them. Now the car idles alot smoother! i suppose that my valves were not opening all the way or not opening at the right time due to the faulty lash adjusters.
So, if you have high miles on your car and idle roughness then this may be the way to go!

Dan I gt my stuff from Bob Kise at Forum auto group in michigan. They are genuine mopar parts 16 lash adjusters and 16 rocker arms cost me 187 bucks. they are great! man there are to many ASNOG's (all show no go) around our hood. I like driving up next to them and looking over and laughing and then they try to prove something by trying to race me and then they get wasted!
I just love it
hehe

that is a weird combo. Sleeper and James' car.

Take one look inside his instrument dash (all them gauges and then some) and you will know that this car is no sleeper.

Plus the FMIC kinda throws the sleeper look out...:P

Mines a sleeper. I have my stock badges that say GS. I also have the AEM intake license plate frame on my car still. Only thing I have different is the lowered stance and fmic. They cant see the fmic from the back though. My gauges arent very visible either. I have the 2 low ons and just one booost gauge on the pillar.

I love the sleeper look. My car is lowered with some 17's but nothing else...people around here for the most part don't even know what my FMIC is! I went with the sleeper gauge set up too, can't see any of them from outside the car :)

hey it's all about the initial outside appearance! hehe i have all my major electronics mounted in my headliner remember! ya ya i know the FMIC is kind of a giveaway, but most don't get to see it because they can never get in front of me! HAHA
