Yes, but it won't affect how close to the valve cap the gets to the body of the rocker. This is fixed even if you skim the head back to the valve face, surely. Or am I being thick?

I didn't read the post properly either, but normally when spacers are needed, this is because the push rods are too long, or if valve stems protrude because of sinking in valves etc.

ok doubt it has been skimmed. it is a lovely turbo phill head. so what should i do, they look close that they could touch or are touching. i was doing it with my mechanic he said it is so close it's a 50-50 it could drop a valve??? my normal bog standard rocker assembly i think fits fine. can i use some sort of spacers or shims or anything??? what about this---> http://www.minisport.com.au/prod1916.htm thanks for help lads :) No, that won't help one blind bit. What you need is rocker pedestal shims. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I had to use rocker pedestal shims when I was running 1.5 rockers. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

The head only had a very light skim, iirc about 8thou. So it's a bit strange ? |
