OK Dallas, Here's one for you.

My 8-92t vibrates in neutral at any rpm. It has done this since I dropped a valve last year. My 92 is 440hp and the shop that worked on it put a head and piston from a 450+hp 92. A tune up has been done and it runs great, no smoke, but seems to vibrate more under acceleration,(load). Any Ideas?

I am sure Dallas knows the problem but my first question would be are the piston and rod weights the same? if the only moving part changed was one cylinder then it sounds like an imbalance.

rdbishop

Could be. I'll probably have to pull the head and put anoyher piston and sleeve.

When is Dennis coming to see you?

Dallas will get to the bottom of it but sounds like someone tried to adjust the valves with the valve bridge adjustment or did not not adjust the bridges before installing the rockers probably has a burned valve by now or he may need one of the high dollar harmonic balancers the 8v92 uses.  


good luck
