o.k. here it is. i've got 2 complete sets of rocker assemblies to work with. 1 stock set of 1.7 and is not ground (.060) taken off with stock adjusters. the other is a modified (.060 ground) 1.7 with some mystery swivel foot adjusters that nobody seems to be able to identify. (they came from a 2056 parts engine).
i also have an o.e.m. set of 911 swivel feet. here are my questions: 1 after disassembling the mystery rocker feet i noticed the rockers appear to have oil holes going to the swivel balls or feet stud. the mystery feet seem have oil passage in the stud to feed the swivel, the 911 feet do not. see the pictures. are these lube passages? the rocker has lube passages to the adjusters that obviously would have no use for the stock adjusters. anyone else ever wonder about this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) 2 anyone know more about these mystery swivels? i'm starting to wonder which set up is best.  |

Exactly right. The ones on the left are known as ball foot or "courier" adjusters. I've used them on lots of T1 engines and never had a problem, but they depend on a real clean valve stem, spot on geometry, and by reputation are not as strong as the real 911 adjusters on the right. Never failed me, though.
