So those in the know...how is this conversion done? I don't now the specifics so please tell me. I understand that the stock 74-76 2.0L cars use a larger-diameter adjuster and cannot accept the swivel foot adjusters because they are smaller. The needed parts as I understand it are:
* Rocker arms/shaft assemblies from a 1.7L engine * Swivel feet valve adjusters (10mm?) * Shims Is all the above correct? What shims do I need and where are they installed? Is there further machining to do to the rocker arms? All details please...Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

You don't want to know... really..... Group: Members Posts: 2,514 Joined: 12-September 04 From: Newport Beach, California Member No.: 2,743 |
Yup... You have the right parts.
Now you need to mill or sand off about 60 thou from the UNDERSIDE of the rocker where the swivel foot is threaded in. REASON.... it gives you 60 thou more of adjustment room. And you are going to need it. As the swivel foot part of the adjuster is longer than a stocker. Therefore you need the additional room. You are also going to need an adjustable pushrod and a dial indicator and a degree wheel to set em up right. Plus rocker spacers to get it nats ass correct. Thats all cheap stuff. Go to Jakes forum and read his 9000 word dissertation on how to do this. If ya want.... send me the rockers and I will clearance them for you for nothing. it's easy. takes about 30 min to 45 min for all eight. Now.. Aaron.... Did you beat me too the response...?????????? Ya little shit.. Clayton |
