The stock 2.0 litre rockers have a thread that is smaller than the thread for the elephant swivel feet rocker arms. So to use the swivel feet rockers we need the larger threads.

Yes, The reason I got into clearancing the rocker arms is that this was in an engine I disassembled for a customer. Sometimes you see bent pusrods, but this was an eye opener that some guys were building their engines without checking anything for binding. I was surprised that the swivel foot adjuster had not been destroyed. I think the reason it survived was that it was adjusted hard out against the rocker arm body. Anyway Binding in an engine can destroy a lot of parts. the engine dropped two valves on this head and destroyed the head also. It was just ugly.

I have come here to make my services available to help as many guys out in a great hobby that I enjoy. This group has helped me, I try to give back.
Thank you all as always.
John

Also Clearanced with swivel feet or not clearanced and stock, rocker arm geometry is extremely important.

I think his question is "why use the swivel-foot adjusters", not "why do the clearancing". It's pretty obvious why you need to do the clearancing, just see the pic above. But, what benefit do you get by switching to those adjusters instead of just using the stock adjusters?

OK, I can see how that could be the question. The mechanical action of the swivel foot or elephant foot adjuster reduces the side loading across the tip of the valve. This in turn reduces the wear on the guide from the "up and down/across the tip action of the valve adjuster. Your guides last longer, you usually have to shim the rocker stands around 0.125" and use longer pushrods, but you were going to check your rocker geometry anyway..........Right? They also are quieter than the stock adjusters. So Quieter, less friction, and nicer to the overall geometry in operation.


Sorry about the first answer, my disconnect.

I'd like to thank everybody that sent in Rocker Arms to be clearanced. All those that have been received have now been shipped out and I'm starting to collect another group to go through the shop.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Nice work.

Add some cut-to-size chromoly push rods to the mix and you've got a winning combination in your valve train (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I have received a couple of inquiries regarding am I still clearancing rockers. Yes I am unfortunately I don't currently have any cores in stock. However, if you have 1.7 Rockers and want them clearanced the price has gone up to $100.00 per set supplied. The price had to increase due to the fact they are so hard they eat carbide faster than I initially thought. I am also still align boring TYPE IV cases. The Bus market has picked up and I now do more of those than 914 cases.
