This puts the UN worn face lower most where the load is, done it loads of times.
When adjusting the clearances pull the rocker arm up to try to get any wear in it accounted for and adjust whilst still holding, running the valves closer will kill the performance, a slightly larger gap on the exhaust helps sometimes on these depending on how wild the cam is.

this is a push rod engine , no cam!!! so you say a alloy rc, any link's as to ware i can get 1 from?
the rotating of the rocker shaft is a good idea tho and will be getting done this weekend!
would a oil like magnatec help? the recomended is 5/30 semi synthetic? watery crap, would i better off using a 5/30 non synthetic oil
cheers for the reply's!
