I'm attempting this for the first time. I'm using 1.7 rockers that have been decked .060 and 911 swivel adjusters. The cam I'm using has an advertised lift of .465 for both intake and exhaust.
On the intake side, my lift was .482 with the geometry at its best, but still not straight. It seemed I needed to back the adjuster out even farther. I had the adjuster about 3 turns in from when the threads started disappearing. So I used .030 washers under each pad to see what shimming the rocker assembly up would do (this is only to see how shims will effect things). At about 3 turns in (as above) on the intake, I got a net lift of .482, within the 5% limit per Jake's valvetrain geometry article. So I go over to the exhaust side. Again, I need to keep backing the adjust out to get the geometry looking correct. At 3 turns in, my net lift is .453. Both the intake (.482) and exhaust (.453) net lift are within 5% of the advertised lift. Is this much of a difference going to be a problem? The motor is a 2056. |
