Hughes Engines 1.6 Rocker Geometry/Setup

madhatta360 said

That’s good to know- i am running these 1.6 Hughes on speedmaster with .512 hydraulic flat tappet lift cam so it’s low lift compared to most serious builds. I need to actually bolt these damn shafts down without shims and check the scrub to get baseline then just add a shim and check.

Do you recall what length pushrod you went with, custom length or did you use a standard size

Yes absolutely if you haven't tried it without the shims I would do that...
Like you said at least you get a baseline from there..
I have a reground cam so I have custom length Smith brother push rods..
I tend to run adjustable rockers because I always run solid lifters on my performance builds... If I had a stock base circle cam with hydraulic lifters and probably just use stock push rods and stock rockers...
But with that lift I would definitely have some matching springs...
