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:

I'm worried that there is no manufacturer listed for the ones in the Pelican catalog.
To use the 911 ones, you machine about 0.060" off the part that the swivel touches. And you may need to put shims under the rocker stands where they mount onto the heads. And you may need to fiddle with your pushrod lengths. These are 911 adjusters: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.allzim.com-121-1401062545.1.jpg) The ones in the lower pic are not. They look like the cheap ones that get pounded out easily... --DD |

DD, you are right these don't look like the ones I saw in the book, these when I ordered them are considered "OEM" and I asked the manufacture and was told they were Porsche. They were not cheap at $23.75 each. They did include the shims but at first I wasn't sure what they were for. I'm not the Pelican Parts guy, I just revived this thread looking for some answers. I got my parts from AutoAtlanta. I know they have a reputation, but I Met George recently and have been giving him the benefit.
