Thanks to Stan W. for filling me on on some things about this engine that would have held me back if I didnt know. By the way, Tim did spend a little money on a set of nice pushrods, but I dont think I can use them.
Man those things just look cool! I didnt realize what they were till i went to put on a rocker and watch it travel the stem.
Ok, my situation looks exactly like the bottom example. From zero lash finger tight to 19ft/lbs. it only took 3/4 of a turn, which is correct per the Scorpion Perf. instruction. So, since they offer shims in .020" thickness, should I install a .020" shim and go for a .020" longer push rod? My concern is what if I need .040"? Can I figure whats right with the pushrods I have and just work out which length pushrod I will need in the end? Anyone have experience with this?
