Hi group.
Finally got my heads yesterday. Today, I'm set to get my car running again... but wait! Could there be _more_ surprises? But of course!
Pushrods are too short. From the look of the adjusters, geometry was never right. In fact, I notice that the rocker arms are free to slide back and forth about 1mm on the fancy hich-tech solid rocker shaft. In retrospect, I can now see why it destroyed a valve guide (though a kindlier engine would have kept it in the port, and not sent a piece into the cylinder ;)
Anyhow, Monday I'll order new adjusters, a set of cut-'em-yourself pushrods, and shaft spacers/shims.
Anybody ever buy from
And, no, I don't know what cam lift is, nor do I know what the rocker ratio is. Pulled the oil pump hoping to see something, but there's no marking. bolt-on gear, though.
Ya gotta love getting stuck with someone's half-baked crap.
