MORE VALVE TRAIN QUESTIONS................

Well, I decided to abandon the adjustable rocker idea. I ended up using the factory hydraulic set up........Using a .040 shim under the rocker shaft, I was able to get a consistent .035 preload measured at the lifter. I mad a die and pressed the shims to the proper shape without stressing the rocker shaft towers. Loaded up the cam, lifters (after a pre-soak but no pump up) and pushrod tips with Comp Cams cam lube (which sure did feel like chainsaw bar oil, but at 5 times the price). She's all ready for the intake now. I'll tell you about that tomorrow in my other thread LD340 MODIFICATION OR NOT?
