I recently read about setting the valve lash at 0.0" in a type IV engine. He was running swivel foot adjusters. How can this be??????? If so it would certainly make the engine quieter.

I have dual springs to allow for higher revs but I may go back to standard singles and eliminate some potential problems. The chromaloy push rods sound like a good way to go since I already have the swivel foot adjusters. Randy

Your head spring bosses would be cut if you have dual springs and if you install a single it will not have the interior boss support. |

I have several successful rebuilds under my belt but all were basically stock. It's amazing how many small things a person has to know or learn to even mildly modify an engine and have it work!
