I think you posted that you at one point backed the adjuster ALL the way out of the rocker. This is impossible with swivel foot adjusters, so you don't have them. They are a worthwhile upgrade for any engine, but not a solution to this problem. If your rockers had not been clearanced for them, and you had them, they might have caused this problem, but I don't think this is the case. Your adjusting screws just look like a plain slotted head set screw, right? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
