ok so about 3 weeks ago i rebuilt the top end of my motor. I have driven it to and from work (about 2-3 miles 1way)and it has ran great. Sat. i drove it in the toy run and back home after the party i put around 100 mi. on the motor, now it has a chatter in the top end. when i rebuilt it i set the rocker arms like the manual said but it sounds like they are not adjusted right (i reused the lifters so they were full). how do i adjust the rockers. Also before I did the rebuild i could run it up to around 6500rpm with no problem now its sounds like its gonna blow at 4500 to 5000.

Sounds like you just need to re adjust them. I know we had to adjust Kelly's quite a few times, before they got settled in good.:thumbsup1:
