QUOTE(acox914 @ Jul 19 2003, 04:02 PM) whats the benefit of 'swivel feet' ? The main reason guys go to the swivel feet is because they are using stainless steel valves. Stainless is softer than the stock valves and the tips will mushroom if you use the stock adjustors. You must use the swivel feet or lashcaps. Nothing wrong with using quality shims, geometry must be checked. With hipo springs you should also go to 8mm X 1.25 rocker studs. The rockers you want are off of a early 1.7 914, 1.7 bus or 1.7 411/412. Also check VW shops. There is no reason to use the swivel feet on a stock engine. |
