I tried that already i spun the 6.0 over then notice i had some lose, tighten
them all back down then this, i dont understand and i left the valve covers off and plugged the coils back up so i could c her fired up and the rockers move
but nope she wasnt have that!!!

 

yeah, just turn the crankshaft bolt clockwise and it will "turn the motor over" moving the pistons up and down, rotating the cam and crank...etc..

then retorque the rocker bolts... ca't remember if its 22 or 24 ft lbs.. i think either is fine... its probably 22 ft lbs..

 

are you sure you have the pedestals back on... under the rocker arms?

 

Yeah I'm scared for you, how bout some pics!

 

Were they stock rockers? I had the same problem when I installed adjustable shaft rockers and overtightened them.

 

what parts got replaced?

 

I didnt replace anything i wanted to inspect the rockers and the pushrods
upon inspection i removed each pushrod and labeled them so they could
go back to there corrasponding cylinders i only loosen the rocker nuts
enough to get the pushrods out i never removed the rockers or the pedestals
i just wanted to see if anything was broken or bent trying to find my misfire
i have my snap-on leak down tester now so in the morning i will try to find the bad cylinder/valve etc...


YOU GUYS ARE GREAT THANKS FOR UR HELP GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!!!

 

haha, well I know when I failed my cam swap I left the coils unplugged and it wouldnt start and my heart stopped. A second look and...

 

i posted this a while back.
you can have all of the rockers torqued and still have some loose.
that occurs when the lifter is resting on the back side of the lobe on the cam. there is no pressure on the pushrod or rocker arm (valve closed).

 

Just follow the firing order and adjust the rockers on the cams base circle and follow the firing order until complete??? YESS??
