While I have read alot about the 911 adjuster and I have everything I need to use them. I have a simple question.
why use them? It seems to me that if I am using all stock parts, stock cam, pushrods etc...am I gaining anything from using the 911 swivel foot adjusters? A big gain for me would be to increase the frequency between adjustments...that alone may make it worth it. IC one potential issue. The original adjusters are designed to twist the valve with each impact...that keeps the valve moving BY DESIGN. The 911 adjusters, with the swivel head, would be less likely to twist the valve as much...once friction comes into play at the swivel head, it will twist the valve some...but not as much as the solid adjuster. The arguement that it works on a 911 is not valid...this is not a 911 motor and all the metals are not the same... So, what are the positive reasons for using these adjusters? What is the risk of not using the solid adjusters? (the valve turning risk) Rich |
