DUH! Yes of course -- longer pushrods then shims. I was really thinking machining down the rocker supports, but that's a bit too much trouble. Maybe not for Tom J with his Bridgeport... Yeah, I'm jealous! But I have a nice 30x37 shop to work in... ;> --------------- Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:11:42 +0000 From: Andrew Blomer <lotharamc@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hold on. Shimming the rocker shaft moves it upward away from the pushrods. If I shim, and use my original pushrods I will have less preload (if that were possible). -- Frank Swygert Publisher, "American Motors Cars" Magazine (AMC) For all AMC enthusiasts http://farna.home.att.net/AMC.html (free download available!) _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
