i like to soak the lifters in 20w oil overnite,i don,t soak the lifters,i oil the trunion bearings and the roller bearing.i use assembly lube on the pushrod cups and the valve tip.i also spray a valve trane assembly lube all over the springs,rocker arms,and pushrod,s.it is made by comp cams.imo,the springs really need lube until the oil covers them after initial startup.
Is that spray real gooey like the old sealed power pre lube? |

An earlier post has me thinking. Someone was mentioned from trunion to roller is different on different rockers. Would that be same ratio and different manufacturers or just different ratios? Maybe some of us can measure what we have for i formative purposes. Use a mic and go center on center. Unless someone already has this info.

They do vary quite a bit from brand to brand, architecture wise.

For a while, crane offered their "gold" rockers, with "TR" fulcrums, that were larger and stronger, then for the last couple years, made it standard on their gold series before they switched vendors or whatever. I had a crane gold rocker, crack exactly like this one did. The crane was made in 1985, was found cracked in 2010, with tons of hours on them, god knows how many. The scorpion in this picture, had less than 100 hours if I recall. It was on a hyd roller setup.
