Hello all,
My little 93 XLT 4.0 4x4 5 speed is running great these days.
I've put a new heater core in it, new water pump, and thermostat.
I've since discovered I have an external coolant leak on front passenger side of the motor so I'm getting ready to do a lower intake manifold gasket.
This is just as well since my valve covers leak like sieves anyway.
While I'm in there, I was thinking about doing the Delta Cams heat treated rocker arms and a new set of Sealed Power push rods.
I have the usual valve train ticking noise since I have about 154,000 miles on the motor.
Delta Cams is actually right up the road from me and even though they have no parts on the shelf, they say they can take my parts and treat them and turn them back to me in about 3 days.
My question is....
Has anyone out there used (or heard of anyone who used?) their rocker arms and have they held up well for them?
Reason I ask is there is one gentleman on the Explorer forum that had a bad experience with a set and he is willing to tell anyone and everyone who will listen about it.
I'm trying to figure out if his was an isolated incident or does the heat treating (and cup insertion) process create an issue?
