Rocker geo, hoe does this look to you guy's Options

[toon1]

so far the liift is good, cam card say's .426, I've got about .428.

Here is a pic. with the vave at half lift. Seems a little off(leaning back) to me.

TOON,

A half a MM is way to much to average

Do each pair of rocker pads with shims that get you what you need.
Then measure EACH pushrod for length.

You may end up with 8 different pushrod lengths. So be it.

There is no reason to leave lift on the table. Get all you can get.
This also helps EACH cylinder run the same. If the GEO is out of whack. The engine is fighting itself to get RPMs. It's kinda like having an engine that is out of balance. I am not sure how this works. A guy named Smokey Yunick wrote about it many years ago. I never forgot that.

Do it once. Do it right.

It is this kind of measuring and re-measuring that makes for a great engine. A Type IV takes me Soooooo long to build. Perfection takes time.

AND THE RESULT IS SO WORTH THE TIME AND CARE YOU GIVE TO YOUR ASSEMBLY.

A well assembled and machined engine even SOUNDS different than a typical engine. They sound kinda of like a sewing machine at full song. No rattles, No weird noises. Just this beautiful mechanical sound that is very consistant and harmonious.

Taking the time to do it right has so many benefits.

The exhaust note will be perfect... Just wait and see....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Craig,

Who did your heads...??????

Was it one of my guys??? if so. Send it back and get it done right if possible. I will personally follow if needed.

If'n it's somebody else. Make a phone call and see what they say.

Cheers,
