<x-charset iso-8859-1> Oh boy! you need to read up on the valve train geometry. Berg has some good info on this as does an old issue of VWT but do a list search for the correspondance I had with Jim A last spring, basically you want the rocker to be perpendicular with the valve stem at about 2/3 lift. Youll need to change the length of your pushrods too... it gets involved but Youll go through valve guides if you get it wrong... worth spending some time here. keith > In rebuilding the engine for Sophy, I went with swivel feet adjusters. > > But, I can NOT get any clearance for adjusting the valves.
