Adjustable Yes TQ (single stage) 25ft lbs INSTALLATION WARNING - The manufacture HIGHLY recommend soaking these rocker arms overnight in "Break-in-oil" that contains Zinc prior to Installation for the first 500-1000 miles of use. MOST synthetic oils and "On Road" petroleum based oils DO NOT contain any zinc. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR THAT IS NOT COVERED BY OUR WARRANTY
If you are not performing a full rebuild or new internals you DO NOT have to run have to run a Break-in-Oil for 500-1000 miles. Starting the engine and immediately bringing it to a moderate RPM range (around 2,500 RPM), then varying the RPM between a set range (like 1,500-3,000 RPM) for a period of 20-30 minutes , ensuring a slow, steady acceleration and deceleration pattern, all while using a dedicated break-in oil to facilitate proper wear-in of the camshaft and lifters; after the initial break-in period, change the oil and filter to remove metal debris.
Key points to remember:-
Use break-in oil: Always use a specialized break-in oil with high levels of zinc and phosphorus to provide adequate lubrication during the initial wear-in process.
-
Start at a moderate RPM: When starting the engine, quickly bring the RPM up to a moderate level (around 2,500 RPM) to ensure proper oil flow to the camshaft and lifters.
-
Vary RPM range: During the break-in period, gradually vary the engine speed within a specified range (typically 1,500-3,000 RPM) to allow for even wear on the camshaft lobes and lifter faces.
-
Avoid sustained high RPM: Do not hold the engine at very high RPMs for extended periods during break-in, as this can generate excessive heat and wear.
-
Monitor engine sounds: Listen carefully for any unusual noises during the break-in process and stop the engine immediately if any concerning sounds are detected.
-
Change oil after break-in: Once the initial break-in period is complete, drain the break-in oil and replace it with fresh, high-quality motor oil to remove any metal particles generated during the process.
