Are they side specific? What I mean is, I see in the rocker boxes there's a number cast in the middle. One has a "1" and the other has a "2". Reason I ask is I just had new guides installed as well as the seats/valves resurfaced as well as the head sealing surface.
Now after installing the heads and trying to set the valves, I've had to back the adjusters waaay off just to get the rocker shaft/rockers back on. This doesn't seem normal to me, and I double checked to make sure the pushrods are seated correctly in the lifters. Am I missing something here? Help! I want to put this car back together and enjoy it! |

Heads were just given a cleanup cut according to the machinist so I don't really think they took much off.
Seats were not replaced, but were ground and the old valves were good so those were resurfaced as well. Here's a pic. One of the things that concerned me when picking them up was the groove they put just outside of the valve. Any ideas why they did that? Just for the record, I'll never go back to those clowns for anything. (IMG:http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x198/pencilnek/914034.jpg) |
