ok,

just for me to clear things up because I dont want to get the wrong information.

running a pushrod with 5-6 threads at the bottom is ok as long as the tip of the roller is making good contact with the tip of the valve.

with shaft mounted rocker you cannot adjust up and down adjustment because the rockers are fixed on the shaft.

however, it is wise to check that the side to side clearance is good for the tip of the rocker to the tip on the valve stem.

Is this correct?

question #2


I set the lash on my valve and I am getting 5-6 threads. If I remove the rocker and take the other side rockers and adjust the threads to 2-3 and I measure the difference of the 2 shafts, then subtract them,

finally add the difference to the old measurement of the original push rod to get the proper length needed?

to put me in the ball park?
