OK - You guys have me lost here , are you saying that the spacer on the shaft between the 2 intake valves is loose? Or Floats ? What brand of Shaft is this ? This doesn't sound good at all I have a set of Autocraft solid rocker shafts and the entire thing is cast as one part, the divider is solid and doesn't move. You would add a few needed spacers to it then the rocker and so one. I can see if this section did move as a problem but if it is solid then it poses no problems. I haven't had any issues with the valve train at all. Sorry i just am trying to clear this up.. ---Martin "This is indeed a problem with the solid rockers. Nobody seems to be aware or concerned about it but when I called berg they said that it "Just needed to be reshimmed" I really dont know how much of a problem this is but Im here again expecting 100K trouble free miles and.... Im losing my warm and fuzzy!"
