I didn't check out my valve adjustment screws last time I adjusted the valves and they seem a bit noisy to me.. (BTW how noisy should they be??) so I was going to pickup a new set of the adjuster screws to have on hand in case mine look worn the next time I go down there. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on these ones for my 1.7 from Pelican:

Anything EMPI makes now is total junk. Swivel feet will require the removal of the rockers and machining/grinding of them. Get the Porsche ones, or I've heard the scatt ones are ok. I have no actual use to go by though, so it's all up to you.

I have no actual use to go by though, so it's all up to you. Ok I'm making the upgrade and was following the recommendation out of Tech Tips 700 and got the 911 parts, however it didn't mention any machining. Is there an article on here that shows how to do this properly as I don't want to bung it up! I will take it to a pro to have the machining done. Here's what I have currently, I realized that although the thread is fine the swivel feet are much larger and that there was no way these will work without modification (wish the book had mention that.......) 911 swivel feet on the top, stock 4cyl 2.0L adjuster screws on the bottom As usual thanks in advance for the advice. |
