What is your question?
Had a leak in intake manifold,wich caused the crankcase to fill with oil and the car was driven for a while like this.I replaced the intaken manifold gasket,now the push rods are opening the valves slightly so theres no compression, I have them withb the 5.68 lenghts in the intake and the 6"lengths in the exhaust valves but they are opening the vallves,there is no adjustment on the rocker arm,it says to just torque the rocker arm bolt down what could be wrong?Hope someone can help.

Obviously you are working on the 3.1L engine .. instead of the 3.8L option! ... 'IF' the pushrods got mixed up and installed into the wrong position , it's possible the valves could be bent... Are you 100% sure the LONGER pushrods *are//were* actually installed into the EXHAUST valve position?.. Didn't get them mixed up at any time during the install??
Yes i have them right, when i back of the rocker arm nut ,it has compression again
Hydraulic lifters have reset to the desired height... Should be good to go!
Im not sure what you mean by that,could the lifters be packed with the muddy oil?
Rocker arm "nut" .. OR .. bolt??? .. What is the 8th and the 10th digit in vin?
It is a bolt,i dont have the vin number right now
*If everything is installed correctly*... Lifters got to bleed back down.. Can try loosening rocker bolt and slowly torque back down.. Maybe turn engine a bit, let it sit then turn again and so on .. the valve springs may push lifters down.. Without visual inspection.. Hard to say... Normally it's not a problem on this setup.
THANKS I will try this,will the vin number still be helpful?I cant get it until tommorow.
Since its got the bolt instead of a "nut".. Vin not necessary... Are ALL of the valves to tight?
Yes
Only thing I can suggest now is get the lifters to bleed back down.
Okay ,thanks ,couldnt find anybody who seemed to know about this.
That stands to reason... Normally it's not a problem! .. Good luck with it!
