Hughes rockers

T56MaxTorq said
As far as shimming side to side, I used hughes shim kit and rocker shaft hold down kit. The shafts get torqued down and measurements are taken for side to side clearance using a feeler gauge with the rockers roller being as centered as possible over the valve. They give you recommended clearances. This helps the rocker to not put any unnecessary side pressures upon the valve stem through its stroke causing wear. The ideal rocker opens the valve in a perfect linear path

Yes yes I totally get the side to side. I actually ordered some of those shims for my 273 rockers and that's kind of the easy part. I guess I should have been more clear that I really don't look forward to like stacking shims on the pedestals 2 bring the Roller tips in or out. Did you have to do any of that? And thank you for your experiences. ..
