So how would go about getting the preload on the lifters I have stock replacement lifters from jegs can anyone help
Appreciate it! Makes it super easy
Im measuring push rod length for some Johnson 2116. Preload spec is .025-.045. Im trying to figure what i should figure for thermal expansion. As the engine reaches operating temp it seems I would lose some preload. .008 is what I think Johnson told me. Iron block aluminum heads.
Can you tell me if this process is the same for brand new lifters that have never been "pumped up"? I assume yes, but just double checking. Thanks for the video!

Thank you
Great instructional video Phantom. Some people may not understand what base circle of the cam is so maybe you could explain it. I’d try but I’m a dumbass and explaining things is not one of my strengths in life.

I really appreciate these videos. Share the knowledge
Check diagonally opposite cylinders (1-8) and you will actually see if there are any discrepancies in the cam tunnel or the engine block itself or machining errors .
Love the tech stuff keep it coming
this is 100% the right way to check pushrod length on an ls
Do you need to change the push rod length on any LS cam swap or just when you put a pretty big cam in?
Phantom can math!
Now there’s the producer I know! Lol
Keep it coming. I get free knowledge based on your experience? Sounds like a win to me.
Much respect guys keep it up , Love the new content. I think you should do more of this all the time we would love to get to know ye and learn from ye and see behind the scenes … i'm sure there are others out there like me that go into withdrawels when Street Outlaws is between seasons.
Best of luck with the New Venture Sean .. I know you're going to kill it man you are one he** of a builder/tuner/driver , get it son
Great explanation. The only thing I would like to see is how to tell when the cam is on the base circle and the process of how to go about getting there.
That's how I do it, keep them coming.
Good stuff!
Awesome. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Great video man. Get yourself a 10-12" caliper. Makes life easy. Lol
Nice informational videoðŸ‘ÂÂ
ðŸ‘ÂÂ

I take it the ls rockers are non adjustable?
thanks you for the video's phantom! you're video skills are fuckin badass
Damn I thought my V's engine bay was dirty! LOL
Tech stuff is great thanks
Nice tutorial
Im thinking about building a LS will come in Handy!
talk about a coincidence. i'm getting ready to do cams on a g8 and was looking for tips because i didn't trust the snug + 1.75 turns "trick".
What would be a good tech tip is. Static vs dynamic compression ratio. I always hear people mix them up or they think it is the same thing just different way of saying it. I know the difference but a lot of people dont. Just a idea. Keep on keepin on.
Awesome tip thank you
hell ya man lets see more of these vids plez
good info bro
Turning out to be a badass channel for fans an family an a little how too all in one.. Good stuff fellas
Me: I wish I had a home garage again, lol.
3:04 oh, that would definitely come in handy. Would too long of a pushrod cause it to rub onto the head?
7:04 lol, good one.
