I'm in the process of checking the lift of the new cams I purchased from Jake. I would like to verify that I have the dial indicator positioned correctly to check the lift. Is this correct?

I got the rocker arms back from the machinist after he took 0.060" off. I mounted a rocker arm assembly and again tried to find the correct push rod length.
On the #1/#2 side the adjuster was all the way in. So should I put 0.030" shim underneath the rocker arm? I measured the lift at .427"/26.97cm - intake and .413"/26.90cm - exhaust. I know I will need to recalibrate if I add the shim, but does this sound reasonable? Here's a shot at half lift. Here's a shot showing the alignment. On the #3/#4 side there was some adjustability, but what is the minimum amount needed? Two turns, three? Do I have to shim both heads the same? I know I have to shim the rocker arms the same on each head. I only measured the intake lift at .440"/27.07cm. Again, does this sound reasonable? Here's a shot at half lift. -- Rob |
