Anybody here ever have issues with squeaky rockers? We just finished up a low buck small block Ford 331 stroker and used CompCams Magnum rockers in the build. Everything is new. Geometry is spot on and the pushrods don't appear to be rubbing the guideplates more than they normally would. Once the motor is hot one or two rockers develope a little "mouse" squeak. I pulled the suspect rockers out and they appear to be breaking in normal and nothing obvious shows up. I swapped out these suspect rockers with a couple used ones from another project.....a different rocker on the same side of the motor starts sweaking...UGH! Plenty of oil is making it up the push rods and out onto the rockers. The folks at Comp are clueless. Any thoughts here? Thanks! -Bigchief.
we had the same problem on our 396 ford stroker we put on some lifters from star and they need to be setat .002 clearnce because they are zero clerance lifters and only squrit oil when the valve is closed we had them set to tight and it was sceaking also ruined 4 rocker arms before i got it figured out we had to set the lfters with the a drill on the oil pump drive to give it oil psi. and the set it to .002 just what we had sounds close to what you are having
